FOUNDERS

OCEAN POUNDS was founded by Lee Ka-sing and Holly Lee, both with backgrounds in creative writing and visual arts. They met in the mid-1970s and established their photography studio in 1977. As two of the most significant figures in Hong Kong's contemporary photography history, they have been pioneers in alternative photography, contributing to the field through personal works, professional assignments, publishing, and promoting photo collecting. Their efforts have played a crucial role in advancing and preserving contemporary photography in Hong Kong.

The Lees spearheaded several influential initiatives, including publishing DISLOCATION, launching the OP Print program to promote photo collecting, and founding the NuNaHeDuo Centre of Photography. In 1997, they relocated to Toronto, Canada, where they continued their artistic endeavors, including gallery projects and publishing ventures. Following Holly’s passing in fall 2024, efforts are underway to compile her extensive body of work into a collection of over 20 book volumes.

Ka-sing remains actively engaged in creating photo-based works and creative writings. Their photography is held in the collections of prominent institutions, including the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, M+ Museum, Hong Kong Heritage Museum, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

Founded in Hong Kong in the mid-1990s, OCEAN POUNDS was later incorporated in Canada in 2000.
