Hong Kong International Photo Festival

HKIPF 2022 Weekend Market Public Programme - Sharing hosted by Thames &amp; Hudson Asia

L7-19, Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre

In this session, three eclectic Hong Kong-based photographers will share their stories, experiences, and expertise in image making. Each photographer will discuss their own way of documenting what they see, how they communicate with readers and audiences through images, and how their selections and works are able to represent different aspects of society and reflect contemporary life.
