Yong is a photographer and editor, specializing in sport. A hardcore sports junkie, his love for sport originated from his competitive basketball background.

Having picked up photography only in college, Yong honed his eye through covering school sports for a local sporting news site, Red Sports. After graduating with a BA in communication at SUNY Buffalo’s offshore campus, Yong found work with Reuters as a multimedia producer, and later ventured into freelance work. Yong went on to secure a sport internship with Getty Images in Los Angeles in the spring of 2019, and is now a senior photo editor with the agency.

Yong attended the 32nd edition of the Eddie Adams Workshop, and was a recipient of the Jim Dietz award. Yong is also an inaugural grantee of the Doug Pensinger Photography Fund and is currently representing the fund as a member of the Young Professionals Board.
