It takes a bit to surprise me after two decades taking photographs but seeing my photography headlining in Times Square, NYC on Friday night takes some beating! Thanks again to Sloika for their vision, graft and innovation. So glad to be a part of that community and grateful for the success we’ve had via my sold out collection, “Girl and Camera” - a landmark first for a Hong Kong NFT photographer on that platform. To see how it all went down check it out on twitter here ..read more

Happy New Year! A little personal news! In 2022, I will take the first steps in becoming a "photographer who has shot professionally" rather than a "professional photographer". What this means is that I will be scaling back on large scale events such as full day weddings and corporate event shoots in Hong Kong. It does not mean that I have relinquished the photographic chain completely - I will still be available for interesting projects and editorial commissions, not to mention my continued love of family portraiture and the like. For those who have already been in touch with me about their ..read more

I recently appeared on the Ho Ho Hong Kong comedy podcast, discussing my two decade long affair with photography, the future of weddings and more. A kind of sideways look at my career and how it has developed here. To tune in, visit Ho Ho Hong Kong ..read more

I’m so delighted to have been asked to be the third ever photographer ever - and first from Asia - to mint a series on Sloika, the new global NFT Marketplace brought to you from the founders of 500px. The series, a 20 1/1 photo set, is the first portraiture work ever to be sold on the platform, and I am delighted to be representing Asian photographers in this regard. The works are now sold out, but if you are interested in acquiring them on the secondary market you may wish to view them here: app.sloika.xyz/hurtingbombz.eth In a sense I feel very humbled to be asked to create a series like th ..read more

Recently, I’ve been asked several times on the low rate of vaccinations amongst vendors such as photographers, makeup artists and florists in the Hong Kong event industry. At a recent wedding I worked at (not pictured), I was the only vaccinated vendor of close to a dozen vendors there. Whilst this isn’t the space to pontificate or speculate as to why people involved the event industry here - who see more unmasked people than virtually anyone save the restaurant industry - still profess to not want to be vaccinated, clients of Justin Lim Photography have generally rested easy knowing that I w ..read more

I am delighted to announce that of 1st May 2021, Justin Lim Photography and The Kandid will accept payment in BTC and ETH for any shoot of 3 hour duration or less, such as family packages and registry weddings. This makes me, in all likelihood, the first notable commercial and wedding photographer in Hong Kong to accept this form of payment. However, I feel it is incumbent upon me to decide to move into this form of payment as an extra benefit to my clients, given Hong Kong businesses have been so sluggish at embracing it. Conversion will be calculated 24 hours before the proposed booking dat ..read more
