Seriality These pictures showcases a series of the symbolic red lampshades of stalls in wet markets of Hong Kong. Also known as egg lamps, the lights give out a soft, atmospheric glow which makes the food more appealing and brings the customers focus to the food. I intentionally make the surroundings of this series of photos darker so the focus on the tone of the red lamps is more emphasized.

    You have a good eye for contrast, especially in the Crop Shot and the View Frame Shot. Both photos are done beautifully with a strong contrast of something in the foreground versus the colourful subject matter behind. Your close up shots turned out more successful and convey a stronger image, if that is something you are interested in, you can definitely explore in this direction.
