In this city, people are at all times moving. With the rushing pace and colourful neon lights, yet I feel lost when I am walking along Nathan Road. It is full of glamorous differentiating faces telling lots of ups and downs of the life. What links up the crowd is their indifference. What leave in our minds are the street images, but not a single face. Maybe there are only human resources but not natural resources in Hong Kong. Thus, we are a kind of faceless ingredient on the street.

Traditional photographers would capture the decisive moments by his-her gaze. The light and shadow would have captured the emotions, but not the time and space. The longer exposure time to the light, the blurer the images would be. These images are my expression to Hong Kong.

Behind The Lens

Location

Nathan Road, Tsim sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Time

evening spring 2014

Lighting

yes, I slow down the shutter speed to seconds, let every light from reflection, neon travel to my camera. and I moved my camera too. I believe we can move the camera while we shoot, it is still photography In this city, people are at all times moving. With the rushing pace and colourful neon lights, yet I feel lost when I am walking along Nathan Road. It is full of glamorous differentiating faces telling lots of ups and downs of the life. What links up the crowd is their indifference. What leave in our minds are the street images, but not a single face. Maybe there are only human resources but not natural resources in Hong Kong. Thus, we are a kind of faceless ingredient on the street.

Equipment

A Nikon D810 with 24-70mm lens, no tripod, no flash

Inspiration

Traditional photographers would capture the decisive moments by photographer's gaze. The light and shadow would have captured the emotions, but not the time and space. The longer exposure time to the light, the blurer the images would be. These images are my expression to Hong Kong.

Editing

I brought up the contrast and that is.
