TTIM 2 – Robin Yong and the Carnival of Venice

My guest for the second episode of The Traveling Image Makers Podcast is Robin Yong.

Robin Yong is a new travel photographer. He also has a full time job as a doctor specialising in travel medicine. He spends most of his time in Australia and Singapore, with frequent travels to Cambodia, Japan, France and Italy. He particularly likes to do portraits, especially of people in their traditional costumes. His favourite subjects are the Venetian masked models, the Indochinese Apsara dancers and the very elusive Japanese geishas and maikos – all very mysterious people to most photographers. He then turns these photos into picture books and gives them to the models, much to their delight although these books are also available for sale online at Amazon, Blurb and Partridge bookstores.
