Architecture, at the end, is all about human. It is about the way that embraces the human beings, enriches our lives, and supports our adventures. Hence, I really wanted to capture the scene that both contains the human figure and his/her ‘architecture’, where they spend most of their time – the place where their meanings of existence stands. This photo is divided into two main themes: view frame and outside of the frame. The top part of the photo shows the typical architecture style of Hong Kong, which is the merge of buildings from past several decades and buildings from relatively recent periods. The color contrast of ivory (which supposed to be more off-white color, but due to the time) and blue (which is because of the recent window-covered buildings) directly implicates the viewer about the development the city went through. However, the bottom part of the picture (inside the view frame) only consists of ivory-related colors, and it is hard to find the architecture style of our generation. Continue, there is one white-haired man in the middle of the frame, not paying much attention to the view next to him. This frame was to show the different psychological acceptance of this old man towards the new generation. His life was based on the view inside the frame, which means that the scene outside of the view frame is not part of his ‘architecture’ . Besides the materiality of the architecture, this picture shows the reason of existence for architecture, the human.

I see a lot of potential in your View Frame Shot with a very interesting caption. However the composition of your photo could have been clearer. For example, having timed the two people in the middle of the photo or have the buildings at the background symmetrical. You can think more about the message you are trying to convey as you capture. In your Chiaroscuro Shot, the dark infrastructure in the foreground creates a good contrast with the reflective high-rise, but some of the other photos have too many objects in one shot, which makes it difficult for the audience to focus.
