Visiting Hong Kong soon? The best souvenirs to bring home would be your precious memories of this bustling city. How do you then capture these treasured moments? Don’t miss these Hong Kong photography tips from award-winning moments photographer, David Teo.
Hong Kong Photography Tip #1 | Be Patient and Wait
“For monkeys and statues, be patient and wait. Usually for shots like these, I have a tendency to shoot with both eyes open so I know what’s happening around me, in case I need to shift my focus. Though it’s focused on the monkey, framing is still important, and so is high shutter speed.”
Hong Kong Photography Tip #2 | Keep Frame Straight and Neat
“I used the incense in the foreground as a frame to highlight the doorway to the temple. Keep your frame straight and neat so your viewer is not distracted. Use your foreground to help frame your subject and give it more depth.”
Hong Kong Photography Tip #3 | Utilise Interesting Elements as Frames
“I love the banner at the bottom.”
“I loved the long walkway with doors in the middle. Look for frames within a frame.”
“Be careful not to overexpose the sky and use the greenery to help frame the temple.”
