How would you describe your style of photography and how did you break into that genre?

I mainly focus on two categories including urban and travel. As I live in Hong Kong, where there are well-developed cities and many skyscrapers surrounding me, it’s easy for me to create a shot of the scenic view of this city. I usually tell my friends from foreign countries that Hong Kong is the best place for urban photography. You can find interesting angles from every corner of the city. I generally focus on urban landscapes and street photography in Hong Kong, but in recent years, I have had to the opportunity to do more travel photography for my interest and for other brands as well.

You have a way to create surreal and abstract photographs out of urban landscapes. Can you break down your creative process for our readers?
