Né en Malaisie, Dr. Yoong Wah Alex Wong has photographed urban and rural landscapes from Turkey to the U.S. Wong says capturing the essence of the lifestyles and cultures he has seen in his travels is a major inspiration of his work, and his pictures bring it alive. Shooting digitally, he captures environments ranging from mist-enshrouded country scenes to vistas of city buildings that are transformed into intricate patterns. With a strong eye for light and color, he gives each photograph a dynamic sense of space, plus an immediacy and power that draw the viewer in.
