ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This picture was taken at one of the landmark building in Hong Kong - the Cultural Centre at Tsim Sha Tsui. The outer facade of the building is encircled by an aisle where slanted and tiled columns are spaced. I was walking Inside the aisle, and was totally drawn to the shades of light casted on the columns as well as the light leaked to the textured ground - which everything seemed to be resembling to a tunnel vision look. Not long after, I saw a scooter kid was skidding by and looked like he is going to get across 'the end of tunnel'. I timed and captured this fleeting moment.
Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.
AUTHOR
Born in 1994, Jason Au is an award-winning fine art photographer based in Hong Kong. He specialises in black and white photography and has a specific interest in street photography and portraiture. His high aesthetic works often incorporate creative, geometric and balanced compositions, with prominent use of contrasting light and shadows, along with dynamic interplay between texture and forms.
His ongoing project ‘Geometric Hong Kong’ is a street photography series which portrays the way of life of urban characters in the context of their surrounding geometric environment, with the photographic approach of isolating urban subjects, geometric element and forms from the chaotic environment of Hong Kong – which works metaphorically to imply the notion of urbanity as well as contemporary way of life within modern metropolis like Hong Kong.
