Who am I

Chui Kwan Ho Joe is a photographer from Hong Kong who is passionate about documenting the diverse lifestyles found around the world. His work centers on human rights and is deeply rooted in a strong sense of humanity.

His curiosity about the purpose of existence led him to study philosophy and history. While Buddhism defines life as suffering, Joe’s photography seeks to highlight the resilience and beauty of life instead.

Heavily inspired by the work of W. Eugene Smith, Joe understands the importance of humanity and respect in visual storytelling. “Photography is just a weak voice,” he says, “but sometimes it can awaken our senses to consciousness.” Holding on to this belief, Joe continues to give love and care to society through his work as a photojournalist. He still holds onto a childlike hope that one day, his images might help make the world just a little better.

In recent years, Joe has been based in Taiwan and Hong Kong, working with both local and international media outlets. He has grown into a hardworking, focused, and compassionate professional who remains dedicated to contributing to society through his photography. Humbly, he believes that there is always room for a better version of himself in the future.
