Extremely

An anthology of portraits featuring a series of over 40 images curated and shot by acclaimed photographerOlivia Tsang. Designed byAlan Chan, Words by leading art and cultural writerCatherine Shaw, award-winning film makerMan Lim Chung.

In a series of black and white portraits, Tsang honours 9 extraordinary women, including Oscar-winning actressMichelle Yeoh, actressFala Chen, actressCharmaine Sheh, independent board directorLily Cheng, real estate executiveJessica Chan, supermodelQiqi Yamand her daughterElla Yam, and more. These women, some close friends and others admired icons, embody important facets of female empowerment, perseverance, and achievement. The portraits are accompanied by quotes from their subjects. A collection of stills Tsang captured during the summer of 2024 add a layer of warmth, creating a contemporary visual journey in feminism from both artistic and personal perspectives.

“For a commercial photographer, to create a photo art book is such an intimate adventure. An honest, tangible expression of my experience of depression, the extreme colours versus black and white portraits and the way they are arranged is a narrative of calm and chaos, clarity and desperation. Im grateful to aesthetic authorities such as Alan Chan and Man Lim Chung and Catherine Shaw, who not only express their feelings, but also contribute to a gender-neutral conversation about womens empowerment.”

– Olivia Tsang, author and photographer for EXTREMELY
