One shot, one story.

 

I like shooting streets. Streets are the life of the city. My motto is that there is a story behind every streetphoto. It is up to the photographer to capture the scene and the viewer to discover and interpret the story behind the shot.

 

Grateful for all the comments including constructive criticisms of my work. Thank you to all those who have inspired me.

I am always peeking in to his EXIF data, trying to learn a little something from him!

One of the best nighttime photographers. One of the best cinematic photographers. One of the best candid photographers. Well let's just put it this way, James is one of the best photographers I know. His whole style of taking pictures is everything I like. In fact I will go on the record to say, James was the first person who really inspired me to take candid/cinematic shots. So I must give credit where it is due. James changed my whole style and way of looking at photography. Keep it up my friend.... Andrew

James was one of the first cinematic photographers I had the opportunity to meet here in Flickr. Since the first time I saw his photos I fell in love with this awesome kind of photography, the one I've been devoted to for the last times. He always manage to tell us a story with just giving a look to one of his pictures, and I especially love his night shots, full of bokeh, colors and emotions. An awesome photographer, but also a kind and modest person!

When I saw one of his pictures for first time, I really thought it was an extract from some asian movie. But when I took a deeper look at his stream, I realised it was not a real movie, but a photography style. His own photography style. I had just discovered Cinematic Photography, which fastly captivated me. All of his pictures are amazing! And I think that nobody gets better street night shots! One of the biggests on flickr.

James, your work never ever stops impressing me. You've been an inspiration for such a long time now. Your comfort with your camera and your ability to use color -- something I fear! Keep it up!

One of THE factors, however, is the fact that everytime I feel like revisiting HK, his pics are just lively and awesome enough to liven up your travel plans - Maybe we can see some movies as well? Keep it up, man !

James was my first flickr contact who introduced me to the world of street photography. Each one of his capture is not only interesting to look at but he spins an intriguing story about each one in the description. I now have a newfound interest in people photography!

I enjoy James' shots very much, his work is brilliant! An aspect I find most impressive about James' photography is not so much the quality of his shots, because any photographer can achieve that, but the depth of his photography. A story behind every shot, and an impressive eye for capturing life in those glorious candid moments. Perhaps in the future, Henri Cartier-Bresson and James Yeung might be synonymous ^^ ~ Thanks for sharing your wonderful pics, James! Keep up the amazing work! - Adrian

James Yeung has a special talent. He skillfully captures the change that subject showed, and changes it into a dramatic photograph. You will see the story in his photograph. I can't take my eyes off his work.

I love to browse through James' works and get some inspiration out of them. I never met him in person, but through his photostream, I could see his visions and feel his ideas as if he is an old friend.
