The theme I want to communicate in this set is people’s emotions and facial expressions. In this set, there is a variation of detest, busy, and confident emotions, which helps convey the theme of emotion and expression.
These photos were taken in different places in Hong Kong, and the protagonists all have different backgrounds. Their expressions are also different, which is very helpful for the diversity of my work.
During the shooting process, I travelled all over the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, including simple residential areas, bustling business districts, and busy office buildings. The people I see in these different places and their expressions are different. They are a little impatient, some are relaxed and happy, and some look difficult to mess with. And these expressions and their character backgrounds also reflect the humanistic history of different places very well.
