Award-winning underwater photographer Yeang Chng shared his captivating images of life underwater and engaged the group in an interactive discussion of some of the technical and aesthetic challenges involved in underwater photography.
Chng has taken photos underwater for nearly two decades from the stunning coral reefs of his home country Malaysia to the whale sharks, jellyfish and other life found in deeper waters. He has won numerous photography contests and his images have been exhibited in the Smithsonian and other museums, and have appeared in various magazines, including American Photo and Communication Arts.

When he’s not taking photos underwater, Chng works as a physician and radiologist with images of a different kind. He and his very tame dog and very wild family have resided in Bangor since 2016.
