Drawing inspiration from Herschel Supply’s City Limitless series and the Fall 2016 Collection, five Hong Kong-based photographers share their perspectives of the city using iPhones, DSLRs and analog cameras.
Hong Kong is a truly unique environment to photograph due to the close juxtaposition of city and nature. The ever-changing landscapes of this fast-paced metropolis unveil countless scenes to capture…
“Looking upwards searching for the only source of light shining through. This is how I experience Hong Kong.”
Timmy Lo (@timmy727) is an interior designer and photographer that focuses on travel and architecture, with an underlying theme of minimalism. The blend of new and old in Hong Kong makes it a city that is unique and exciting for him to capture.
“Elevated walkways and roads run through the middle of the air between buildings and nature, resulting in cityscapes that simultaneously conflict and harmonize.”
Kevin Mak (@kingymak) is an active Instagrammer whose key interest is the close relationship between human behaviour and spatial environments. Aside from his passion for photography, Kevin is a registered architect working at OMA in Hong Kong.
“Getting ‘lost’ in the city I call home and wandering through its bustle is, in my opinion, one of the most freeing things one can do.”
Kimberley Fung (@kimberleyfun) is an international school teacher with a passion for photography. She shoots a range of urban scenes that capture the essence of the city’s buzz, as well as its heritage. Her inspirations lie in the multiple perspectives that can be taken of familiar places and the discovery of new ones.
“It truly is a concrete jungle that keeps you guessing. You can go from exploring the chaotic city streets, to hiking dramatic landscapes in an instance.”
Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Christopher Lim (@cl.photo) is a freelance photographer and creative director currently based in Hong Kong. Specializing in photojournalism, documentary, portraiture and fashion photography, his images are impromptu and genuine.
“Over 7 million people living in about 430 square miles; the proximity of each high rise being elbow-to-elbow creates a very unique environment.”
Stephen Wong (@xcanadian) is an iPhonegrapher with a background in technical engineering. His focus on complex composition can be seen through his street, cityscape, portrait, rooftop and urbex photography.
