Cover Jerry Haha photographs at Basehall for Tatler

Artist, DJ and designer Jerry Haha documents life after dark in a photo essay for Tatler

At the age of 18, Jerry Wong, better known as Jerry Haha, had two choices: either accept a place at the London College of Fashion or begin an internship at Japanese fashion brand Human Made in Tokyo. He chose the latter. Since returning to his native Hong Kong, he has been making waves in the city’s creative scene. Dabbling in different occupations—including DJ, fashion designer, graphic designer, photographer and producer—the multifaceted artist, now 23, has started his own production house, Artificial Dust, which provides DJ and event services, film production and photo production. This month, we asked Wong to document a night out using a disposable camera.

Everything is connected. I don’t see myself doing a lot of things, I see it as one thing, and you can say that it’s art
