Robin Yong is a multi-awarded Travel Photographer. He enjoys traveling to exotic destinations to befriend and photograph different cultures. He is best known for his work on the Omo Valley Tribes in Ethiopia, the Venetian Masked models in Venice, the Bokator boxers of Cambodia and the Maikos of Kyoto.
