Jay Yao
Photographer, Filmmaker
Growing up in a traditional Chinese family, Jay was a rebellious and defiant trouble-maker. But after a near-death experience, he saw his life flash before him and was struck by a strong desire to live life differently – with gratitude and a spirit of giving. Today, Jay is an accomplished photographer, producer and filmmaker who has accumulated an international portfolio that includes works for Sony, Canon and Discovery Channel. He spent the early years of his career in Hong Kong and Singapore, and is now currently based in Dubai. He also uses the medium of photography to raise awareness and inspire others about bigger issues such as social injustice in our society.
