Johnny C.Y. Lam                      Work / About / Contact / Instagram


My name is Johnny,  C.Y.  is the initial of my Chinese name - 仲賢 (Chung Yin).
I am primarily an on-location photographer, focusing on portraiture, lifestyle,  food, travel, and documentary photography.

I am based in the historic town of Bonavista, Newfoundland but I often travel for advertising, editorial and private commissions.

Photographing people and travelling are my life passion. I have always had a strong sense of curiosity about the world and enjoy telling stories with my images through making real connections with the people I photograph.

I grew up in Hong Kong and moved to Canada with my family at age 15. Although I studied commercial illustration, it is in photography where I find my voice as an artist.  I hold both Canadian and Hong Kong citizenships and speak fluent English, Cantonese and Mandarin.

Some of my favourite things are airports, bonsai and dim sum. When I am not taking photos, I enjoy cooking, cycling or reading photo books at home.

Best way to get in touch with me is via email.
