At an event on September 8 organized by the Women in Publishing Society Hong Kong, Norm will discuss his most treasured photographs and showcase his Asian Male photography books. It begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Foreign Correspondents Club.

A Chinese-born Canadian, Norm graduated from the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Toronto (1989, architecture) before moving to Hong Kong in 1994 and working as a project architect until pursuing his interest in art and photography. In 1999, he co-founded the organization art collective, Meli-Melo Artists Alliance.

Norm is known for his monochromatic images of the Asian-male physique and face. In 2005 and 2007, he published photography books titled The Asian Male -- 1 AM and The Asian Male -- 2 AM. He has taught photography at Hong Kong's Open University, guest-lectured at the Hong Kong Art School and seen his work appear in magazines.
