One camera Pun Yet-pore used in the 1940s was an old Agfa which had no automatic distance gauge. To measure the distance he used a string, with a knot tied to indicate a foot. Many of Pun Yet-pore's salon pictures were taken with this "old lady's camera".
Pun Yet-pore won numerous prizes from international salons and obtained many titles. He was magnanimous by nature and did not begrudge others their greater successes in the same event, even if they were his pupils or even pupils' pupils.
Pun Yet-pore was one of the founders of the Photographic Society of Guangdong and the Chinese Photographic Association of Hong Kong.
In the 1950s Pun Yet-pore started to teach photography and many of his pupils became world famous. It was by virtue of his excellence and conscientiousness that he attained the eminence of a master photographer. He held several solo exhibitions, and published Photographs of Pun Yet-pore and Technique in Photography. His subjects were wide-ranging, his concepts original, his techniques meticulous. His distinctive personal style comes through each of his landscapes, portraits and still lifes, whether in colour or black and white.
