...riot police, with his camera facing the truncheons dead-on. As powerful as the images are, Shootback's most lasting impact has perhaps been on the lives of the youth Wong first drafted into the project. For many, photography turned from a pastime into an income-earner - a huge advantage in a country with 40% unemployment.
