Feature
The seminal work of my Asian male photography started in 1999, years before the advent of digital cameras, where I began shooting fine art nudes. As Asian men in media are just making its mark in the west, my work is a testament to the growing popularity of what I saw coming long ago. The link will take you to The Asian Male Project website.
