The Best of Asian Pictorialism by Don Hong-Oai

Don Hong-Oai was born in China and lived most of his life in Vietnam. He is one of the world best in Asian pictorialism, he is also one of the last. He refined his technique under the gentle tutelage of Long Chin-San, one of the best known practitioners of Asian pictorialism. Realism is not the goal in this style of photography.

His images are majestic and hauntingly beautiful
