profile

I find myself always returning to those revealing aspects of Hong Kong’s history, which have sparked my fascination with the interplay of time, history, and destiny. In particular, I am looking for the unexpected dialogues that arise when exploring the connections between the historical and contemporary perspectives within the realm of photography.

Thomas Lin (練錦順) is a photographic artist and educator based in Hong Kong. He started his creative journey after completing his BA in photography at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His art has been showcased and reviewed in Hong Kong, Kyoto, London, Pomona, Vancouver, Taipei, and Beijing. Furthermore, his pieces have been acquired for private and public collections, including the Hong Kong Heritage Museum.

In addition to his artistic pursuits, Thomas is dedicated to impart his extensive technical and conceptual knowledge across a diverse range of analogue, alternative, and digital photography in universities and high schools. He also collaborates with various art and education NGOs, where he can share his expertise and passion for art and photography. It is his pleasure to contribute from a practitioner’s perspective, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the art form among his students and fellow enthusiasts.
