FIND YOUR DIRECTION
This experience comprises 3 hours of theory and practice. It starts with a discussion about the principles of photography (an overview of the basic aesthetics in photography), and how to define your photographic identity. We then delve into the various compositional techniques and framing, that can greatly enhance your images. The theoretical part also covers the importance of utilizing the available tools in the manner to serve your vision and overcame technical limitations to your advantage.
Then we put everything into a constructive practice through a photowalk around local areas that convey the spirit of Hong Kong. During the photowalk, we will explore vibrant street markets providing ample opportunities to apply the concepts learned. By the end of the photowalk session, attendees will not only have a deeper understanding of photography but also have created a portfolio of images reflecting diverse aspects of Hong Kong life, as an optional assignment.

Thomas was great, very knowledgeable and a source of inspiration. I recommend this tour for seasonal photographers as well as newbies. On request, he will also take you to some used camera shops in HK that are off the beaten path for most tourists 📷

This was a wonderful experience. We learned more about photography in an afternoon than we previously knew! Excellent instruction using great teaching methods. And great company. We would highly recommend this.

I was in Hong Kong for two days and booked a Photowalk with Thomas as a way to hone my street photography skills and see a part of Hong Kong that was off the tourist path. Everything exceeded my expectations. We started at a coffee shop to discuss my goals and experience so he was able to tailor the tour and his comments to what I wanted. We walked through a neighborhood and he was great about pointing out things I may have missed. I got over a big barrier to my street photography efforts which was my shyness in photographing people. By the end of the afternoon I was asking people directly if I could photograph them and also taking candid photos of others. Can't recommend this tour enough...well worth the cost. A great value for the one-on-one attention.
