2. The main themes show dim very neon areas or bright images where you can tell its a dim area 

3. Many of the techniques used include wide shots showing the bright neon lights and cluttered city with usually 1-2 people as the focus.

4. I chose him because he really can show classism in the tight, claustrophobic apartment buildings with the cheap neon lights.

The main themes are less edited and more raw, with much more focus on greenish light. Many older (1980s) Hong Kong Neon lights.

Chose Him More for his style and colors he uses, which are much more gritty, and what I am going for. Shows much dirtier areas/places.  The lighting also plays a big role in how it was perceived, unlike Liam Wong, who uses blues, reds, purples, and other colors that make the pictures feel almost futuristic. The use of green, fluorescent lighting makes the image feel outdated and dirty/cheap. Like you’re in a bad area. Which Correlates to my theme of classism. Also, neon lights are not as vivid as Liam Wong’s to show almost despair. Mostly dim colors.
