Field Trip 1 – Alleyways in Jordan and Mongkok

1. Wide angle

Looking upwards is the only way to freedom within the narrow alley.

2. Zoom

Trying to pry into the treasurers beneath.

3. Focus

What will you focus on?

4. Crop

The inside is always more valuable than the package outside.

5. Bird’s eye/ aerial

You can see beauty in it if you have a beautiful heart, or else, you will only see the bottom of a dirty rubbish bin.

6. Worm’s eye

Trying to see the sky’s colour.

7. First person view

A chair was all she needed.

8. Skewed angle

Reaching up to the sky.

9. Perspective

There is always order within the chaos.

10. View frame

Things in mirror are closer than they appear.

11. Seriality


You take what you need but not what you want.

12. Chiaroscuro/ contrast

Finding life within the concrete jungle.

Wide-angle

We all have the same dream under the same sky, which is to have more spaces. Standing in the narrow alley, the widest angle one can get is by looking upwards. Every one of us must have tried looking up before, trying to reach for the sky. Yet, all we can see are buildings blocking the blue sky. The skyscrapers that surround us make us seems so weak and helpless. The packed city constricts our imagination, manipulate our thoughts and restraint our freedom. Imprisoned by this heartless city, inside the filthy alley, we are all defeated soundly.

    Interestingly, all your images represent a form of linear element, either through pipes or by buildings. I wonder if you could have focused on one specific linear element, such as pipes to develop a continuous photographic story with them.
