Kenneth Lam

Moving from an early career in fashion photography, he now focuses on still life and food – using them as a lens to explore identity, politics, and storytelling. His work has been featured with publications and brands including The Financial Times, The Observer, Nowness, and Conde Nast. Drawing on the light and composition of the Old Masters, he blends classical influence with contemporary objects. His images have been exhibited at the Museum of the Home, Space Gallery, and Eaton Hong Kong. Beyond documenting food, Kenneth is interested in what food and image can hold – beauty, memory, and the deeper currents of today's social climate.
