ANTHONY CHAN
Old Meets New

In an industrial district in Hong Kong surrounded by a mix of old and new developments, the shot was taken to highlight a contrasting co-existence of a new skyscraper’s stylishly designed front entrance and an old industrial complex with myriads of air conditioners, pipes, wires mounted on its wall. The shadow and light accentuated the overall monochromic effect of the city’s architecture.

I am a fine art photographer with a focus on black-and-white imagery. I enjoy capturing fleeting moments and exploring the connection between people and their surroundings, aiming to highlight the beauty and complexity of everyday life that evokes a sense of timelessness. Using light and shadow, I strive to create images that tell a story and offer a unique perspective. Each photograph represents my personal interpretation of the world, and I hope it resonates with those who view it.
