Street photography in Hong Kong - 5 Jan 2025 - Tough to make a living

Street photography in Hong Kong often reveals the unfiltered reality of daily life, and one theme that consistently emerges is how hard it is to make a living in this fast-paced city. From elderly workers collecting cardboard to young people juggling multiple jobs, the struggle for survival is etched into every street corner. Through my lens, I document these moments not just as images, but as stories of resilience—capturing the tension between ambition and exhaustion, the contrast between luxury and hardship. In a city where space is tight and time moves fast, every frame is a reminder that behind Hong Kong’s glowing skyline are countless individuals fighting to stay afloat.
