Hong Kong Brutal Compressions
My work is heavily influenced by the energy and movement of the urban environment. I am particularly drawn to the geometric shapes and patterns found in the architecture and infrastructure of the city. Each image can be considered a fragment of awareness, when added to the collective body of work, combines to form a single idea or thought.

entry description
This portfolio explores the brutal compressions of Hong Kong architecture from a street level point of view. Hong Kong is one of the most population-dense cities in the world. The average apartment size is about 450 square feet but most live in apartments less than 200 square feet. The true feel for the living compression that most Hong Kongers exist in can only been seen and experienced from the ground where the architecture surrounds you.about the photographer
