Black and white: looking straight up between towering residential blocks, their windows and balconies converging on a thin strip of grey sky.

Looking Up

Hong Kong. 2026

I stood at the bottom of a housing estate with the widest lens I carry and pointed it straight up. The blocks lean in from every side, and the sky is what is left over.

Hong Kong builds up because it has nowhere else to go. Down in the street you don’t see it; you have to look up.
