His work has been exhibited internationally, and his work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the High Museum of Art, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Yale University Art Gallery, and the National Galleries of Scotland, among others. Horizons, his second book, was published by Hatje Cantz in 2014.\r\n\r\nHorizons is a series of landscape photographs taken all over the world, in which the horizon is always at precisely the same place. The photographs – all meticulously framed, and some starkly minimalist – can be viewed together in various arrangements, to create the appearance of a continuous horizon running through them all.  The series explores the relationship between geography and the built environment.  Leong states: ‘Horizons is an ongoing series of photographs, begun in 2001, that depict expansive views of a broad spectrum of environments throughout the world. The locations of the images may be distant in geography and diverse in subject matter, yet the photographs are linked by a horizon which continues in the same position from image to image. When placed side by side, the images form an extended landscape composed of an accumulation of varied continents, cities, terrains, situations, textures, and colors.’ Leong shoots on film with medium and large format cameras, and makes analogue chromogenic prints.  \r\n","physicalDescription":"A colour photograph depicting a row of buildings in Venice surrounded by water.
