We may hate the grey of Hong Kong sometimes, but there’s something about our city in black and white that makes it particularly alluring.
One man who figured this out long ago is American photographer Peter Steinhauer, who’s been residing and snapping in Hong Kong for over nine years.
Having photographed the highly spiritual locations of Bali, Vietnam and Myanmar for more than two decades, Steinhauer found a way to look past Hong Kong’s concrete-clad, money-making machine to see the underlying peace and beauty in urban density.
You’ve got to give the guy props for that alone!
Featuring our city’s famous organised chaos, natural landscapes and modern architecture, Steinhauer’s award-winning “Hong Kong – Surface Unseen” series exposes the elements of the sprawl that are ever present but often go unnoticed.
