Comment(s): Hong-Oai was born in Canton as the youngest son to a business family and was raised and educated in Saigon. At age 13 he began an apprenticeship at a Chinese photo and portrait shop. In 1979 he immigrated to the United States and settled in Chinatown of San Francisco. His style was heavily influenced by the legendary photographer Long Chin-San’s technique of layering negatives. Each photograph was assembled only by the artist himself, never having an assistant or master printer aid him. His work has won scores of international awards and has been collected worldwide.
