Despite having a solid career as an engineer, Wong Ho-fai did what most 24-year-olds only dream of: he quit his job to realise his passion - sports photography.
Four years later, the gutsy decision has led to an exciting role spearheading French trail-running brand Salomon's marketing campaigns in Hong Kong.
"My parents always urged me to get a 'real' job," says Wong. "But I told myself I had to find a job where I could combine work and travel."
A self-taught photographer, he did his rookie gig in Nepal in 2009, for the 10-day Yak Attack mountain bike stage race that cuts across the Himalayas.
Over the next couple of years, he travelled on adventure photography jobs, sharing his stories in a column in a local sports magazine. His work caught the eye of the Salomon boss, who offered Wong a job.
Although Wong still snaps photos on the side, the job has given him the chance to develop his other passion: sports, in particular, trail running.
