Geometry and Urban Architecture Through the Lens of Film
Urban architecture is rich in geometric forms that reflect the structural and design philosophies of different eras. While the lines of buildings may appear simple, they are infused with layers of light, shadow, and color that evoke distinct emotions.
Shooting with a film camera enhances these elements, adding a natural tonal quality that lends depth and softness to the images while capturing the atmosphere of a place in a uniquely expressive way. The limitations of film—particularly the finite number of exposures—require me to be more deliberate in composing each frame, ensuring every shot is intentional and thoughtfully framed.
In architectural photography, the city can be distilled into basic forms like triangles, rectangles, and sweeping curves, once stripped of excess detail. Yet, through the lens of a film camera, these shapes transform into narratives of shifting light and shadow, revealing the timeless beauty of the urban landscape.

PHOTO ESSAY : HONG KONG SOLITAIRE
TEXT & PHOTO: PATRICK KASINGSING

Hong Kong captivates me like no other city. From my first visit in 2017 to my most recent stop last September, this 1,108km² pocket of contrasts keeps pulling me back. Every trip feels like uncovering another layer, where something familiar is always just a little different. It’s a place where glass-and-steel skyscrapers soar above streets that still hold the grit and character of another time, where the sharp edges of a modern “Asia’s World City” soften into traces of its past as the Fragrant Harbor.
Hong Kong hums with urgency: fast, loud, relentless. But every so often, it pauses, exhales, and shows you its quieter side, rare moments that I wanted to capture in this series. A solitary figure standing in the shadow of towers; a woman in green, lost in her own thoughts along the Avenue of Stars; a Yau Ma Tei street stirring awake as the day begins. These quiet moments, nearly missed amidst the city’s rush, are the ones I always seem to gravitate toward, the small, human glimpses that, to me, make up the real Hong Kong.
