Yeong is a NY Emmy® Award-winning photographer and filmmaker, who recently worked for Newsday as a multimedia producer. He produced visual news reports as well as long-form documentaries using innovative storytelling techniques to translate complex ideas and data into an immersive presentation.
His overall journalism experience in New York as a writer, video producer, editor, cinematographer for major media outlets helped him explore creative ways to present editorial materials into visual formats. As a cinematographer, Yeong conceptualize and visualize investigative contents such as "Testing the Divide,” a recent Newsday's documentary film that won this year’s Peabody Award for public service.
He is a strong self-starter for writing and editing compelling stories—from a formerly incarcerated woman who is battling custody of her daughter(PBS, 2018), to Trump Impersonators with different political views performing in the Trump era(Newsday, 2019). Yeong likes to carry a strong collaborative and team-centered approach when it comes to creative problem-solving in the editing room. He had worked with The New Yorker magazine, The New York Times Op-Docs, ABC network’s Lincoln Square productions, among other clients.
