About The Site
Hong Kong Photographic is a portfolio of Hong Kong images, from famous scenes to the seldom seen: bits of the Hong Kong way of life often overwhelmed by the city's own dynamism.
Hundreds and hundreds more images can be found at www.flickr.com/photos/hongkongphotographic/.
Images are available for licensed use, from publications to web sites. Need something specific? Just ask, as long as it's not weddings. I don't do weddings. Not ever.
About The Photographer
I fell in love with photography at the ripe old age of 11. My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic, used during a trip to Holland where I shot everything I saw.
Shortly thereafter I got my hands on the fabulous Minolta X-700 film SLR camera and spent a small fortune learning the fundamentals and developing my compositional skills. Shooting film prepared me well for the move to digital.
After moving to Hong Kong, I bought a digital Olympus C-2100UZ, from which I created numerous galleries for BWG, my personal web site. The Olympus was excellent, but I used it so much it literally fell apart.
Enter the Canon digital SLR. The moment I gripped it I knew it was perfect for me. All images at Hong Kong Photographic have been created with it. To date my biggest client is National Geographic; since 2006 it has been using several of my images for the National Geographic Hong Kong Traveller Guidebook.
I've been teaching photography full-time since 2007 to fill a pressing need as more and more people make the jump to digital SLRs. I enjoy helping folks acquire the knowledge and confidence they need to produce photographs they can be proud of.
And if you're wondering why there are no photos of me on the site, it's because I prefer being behind the lens.
