Hey, Hot Shot! Entries: Keith Kin Yan
Untitled (One) by aspiring HS Keith Kin Yan
Keith Kin Yan hails from Hong Kong, moved to Singapore, then to Boston, New York remaining a fascination and his ultimate destination throughout. For him it was the dystopian metropolitan environment that film and comic books lead us all to believe it could be.
What I found upon my arrival luckily didn’t live up to what I’ve imagined, but this vision of a dark cinematic New York stayed with me and I set out to capture the New York I’ve visualized with my images.
And that is exactly what he has done. Keith successfully transforms the New York City we all know into the gotham noir we’d all, in the back of our minds, like it to be––a city that truly is full of mystery, adventure, and vices of all sorts. This New York is the dark metropolis, the sin city, a city where venturing downtown is a risky temptation. Not to mention, the work is simply good looking.
Keith has many, many images for you to pour through on his site as well as his flickr––for your Sunday, enjoy.
