Tourism Centre / Comprehensive Report

A Hong Kong photographer skilled in portrait and landscape photographyChan Chi-keungheld his first solo photography exhibition at BLINK Gallery in Kwun Tong from May 22 to June 6, showcasing 8 cloud photos taken in Hong Kong. Travelers who have the chance to visit Hong Kong recently can make time to appreciate them.

The works in the exhibition mostly take Hong Kong landmarks as their subjects, with the sky as the main element in the composition alongside the city's iconic sites. Capturing these colorful cloud effects requires the right combination of weather, season, timing, and photographic technique. Chan Chi-keung rarely relies on computer software or post-processing. Generally, his works are shot in manual mode, with only minimal cropping done on the computer to highlight the subject. He believes that blue skies and clouds are the most beautiful and encourages everyone to take more time to appreciate the beauty around them.
