The Asian Male - 1.AM
Photography by Norm Yip

The word hot leaps to mind when leafing through Hong Kong-based photographer Norm Yip's debut volume of Asian nudes... Asked to name what makes them so sexy, Yip replied: "Delicious skin; really nice butts; sensuous, alluring eyes." Trust us, we're convinced. Out Magazine (USA)

The best images in 'The Asian Male, the ones that stretch beyond the private portrait, have an air of gentleness and innocence about them, but also a sense of confidence and independence that illustrate the emergence of a new type of man. Tim Cribb, South China Morning Post (Hong Kong)

The result is a group of forty sensuous, erotically charged photographs that stand with the finest of portfolios of the male nude. Norm Yip is a refreshing new talent who here shares his work from 1999 to 2004. Let's hope there is more! Recommended. Grady Harp (Los Angeles, USA), Amazon.com Top 12 Reviewer, December 2005
