Publisher's Synopsis
Born in Hong Kong, Almond Chu began his career as a professional photographer and photographic artist in 1986 after graduating from the Tokyo College of Photography. A realist and reactionary devoted to the permanent values, of photography, Chu does not compromise to the demands of a specific genre. His photography -- from his renowned monochrome human figures and still-lifes to his colour landscapes and 'Punks' -- draws viewers into an austerely personal, poetic reality. His achievements have earned considerable local, regional and international acclaim, and his works have appeared in publications such as Nude Photography; The Art & the Craft (London); Nude Bible (Belgium); Graphic Nudes 3 (Switzerland/USA); Nudes Index I (Germany); Photographers International (Taiwan) and Déjá vu (Japan). Chu's photography is widely collected by numerous corporations, museums and individual connoisseurs.
