Travel Diary: Hong Kong

During my weekly scan through google flights, I came across cheap flights to Hong Kong and impulse bought a ticket so off I went to Hong Kong for a few days. With no real itinerary in mind other than gorging myself on dumplings and catching up with some friends, strolling around Hong Kong aimlessly with my camera was such a fun way to see the city with new eyes while revisiting some old haunts.

The way the tall buildings break up the light into little shafts of illuminated vignettes always hits that aesthetic bullseye for me and that coupled with the neon glow of Hong Kong’s nights, most of my images consisted of little pools of light and textures. Probably one of my favorite places in the world to shoot street photography, I felt like I was drinking out of a fire hydrant when it came to where to hit the shutter. Little alleys, interesting textures, incredible light and how it bounces off the buildings, the juxtaposition of new and old. It’s a street photography dream.
