PAINTING with LIGHT – A Central without People

He started this current project in 2011, and says he’s been doing it “just for fun”.  He comments: “Maybe these images are ‘reflections of my life’ that are taking me back to my long-ago home.  Or maybe it’s a question about whether this city is indeed an emptyscape.”

Currently a freelance photographer, John Choy was born in Hong Kong in 1966.

He worked as a photographer for a series of local newspapers and magazines, as well as Information Services Department from 1989 to 2001
