I’m Steve “Spike” Schechter, a photographer and writer now in Manila after 18 years in Hong Kong. My specialties as a photographer include concerts and live performances, events and parties, business conferences and head shots.

I’m also a partner and photographer at PASM Workshop, a unique photography studio and event space in Hong Kong.

I majored in film production in college and worked in the industry for several years, doing a variety of jobs on feature films (including Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining) as well as dozens of television commercials and industrial films before accidentally slipping into a career in IT management, which has since taken me around the world.

Along with the IT stuff, I’ve always written – mostly about music, movies and technology. I’ve written for a variety of publications for almost 40 years. In Hong Kong, I wrote gear reviews and news for the South China Morning Post and had a popular free wheeling column called “Spike” in BC Magazine for several years. I started the Hongkie Town blog back in 2004 and started Spike In Manila in 2015.
