What is street photography in Hong Kong?

The term street photography can be defined as the art of taking photos of people while they're in public places. Street photography is often done through candid shots, as opposed to posing a subject or asking permission before snapping a photo. The photographer must capture life at its most candid and honest moment — exactly the way it happens!

Street photography in Hong Kong

The city is a great place to shoot street photography. It's filled with people and activity, as well as iconic buildings and transportation. Hong Kong has a rich history, which makes it even more interesting to shoot your photos there.

There are many different locations in Hong Kong where you can take your street photography shots:

 

The Peak - A popular tourist attraction that overlooks all of Hong Kong Island (and Kowloon) from high above sea level; this is one of the best places to take pictures because there are so many things going on around you at all times!

Explore Hong Kong.

Street photography is about exploring the world around you and learning about your surroundings. To do this, you must get to know Hong Kong.

First, visit some of its historic sites--the oldest building in Hong Kong was built in 1849! Second, check out some markets where locals shop for groceries and other items they need (like clothing). Thirdly, visit parks that are full of people doing sports [think Tai Chi] or just hanging out with friends and family.

 

Capture unique images of the building and transportation.
