YOUNG MAN 後生仔 - Naomi Wong

'後生仔, which translates to ‘young man’ is the debut photo book by Naomi Wong. Through intimate portraits and interviews, Naomi aims to “fill in the blanks of the absent Chinese male in British culture”, celebrating them as “a lover, a friend, a son and a brother.'

Two years in the making, her subjects include a mix of individuals born and raised in the UK, as well as those who arrived at a young age to study or settle.

“Despite all of us having been raised within very different backgrounds, we could all relate to the feeling of not quite fully belonging to this country that we may call home but have a slight, bittersweet affinity for."
