YAU Leung (1941- 1997, Hong Kong) is considered one of the most important photographers in the contemporary photo history of Hong Kong, China. With a career spanning over thirty years, Yau had amassed an overwhelming collection of street scenes and daily life of ordinary people which have become important historical evidence and social documents of the ex-colonial city. Three books of his photographs were published: '60's/70's: Image of Hong Kong' (1992), 'Growing Up in Hong Kong' (1994) and Images of Hong Kong 1960's-1970's (1999). Yau also shot with great enthusiasm before the return of Hong Kong to China, in black and white and in colour. Most of these photographs have not been published.
