John Wong is a photo essayist based in Bristol, originally from Hong Kong. His work examines the interplay between memory, structure, and the quiet forms of control embedded in both personal and institutional spaces. Drawing on a background in sociology and photography, he approaches image-making with restraint, precision, and a reflective temperament.

Wong’s practice is rooted in analogue photography, shaped by a deep respect for material processes, but adapted to a hybrid workflow that allows for clarity and deliberation. His work resists immediacy and spectacle, favouring the slow unfolding of meaning through tone, form, and visual sequencing.

He holds a BA (Hons) in Photography from the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) and is currently working as a Junior Photographer in the Science Museum Group. His practice continues to explore how images function not only as representations, but as quiet invitations to study, question, and remember.
