About Me 關於我
My name is made up of just two Chinese characters, but I am a native Hong Konger, born and raised there in the 1980s, and a Cantonese speaker. The purpose of my photography is not fame and awards, and these works are the mark I leave behind, bearing witness to my journey through this world.
The works did not begin in a studio or an art academy. They started with my experience as a data researcher using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), driven by pure curiosity to explore cities.
The works are dedicated to all those who, walking paths less traveled, believe that the creation should not be limited by one's background, but is born from vision, perseverance, and curiosity.
To my fellow travelers — the self-taught in data science and photography.
名字雖然只有兩個字,但我是一個80後土生土長用廣東話溝通的香港人。我拍照的目的不是為了名聲,而作品就是我曾經在世間上活過的痕跡。
作品的起點,並非工作室或藝術學院,而是作為一位數據研究人員運用地理資訊系統(GIS),對城市的純粹好奇和探索。
獻給所有在既定跑道外,堅信創作不應被創作者的出身所限制,而是屬於每一個具備視野、堅持與好奇心的人。
獻給我的同道 — 數據科學與攝影的自學者們。
Leo, Hon Li
