Wetland Seasons Park is a development neighbouring the Hong Kong Wetland Park in Tin Shui Wai, and overlooking Shenzhen
Developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited, the 2000+ residential units are staggered so a large number of units have an unobstructed view of the wetlands. A view that becomes especially breathtaking from the sky club house with its large windows. On clear days, Shenzhen's gleaming skyline quickly catches your attention.
Wetland Seasons Park is designed by LWK & Partners.

The adjacent development, aptly named Wetland Seasons Bay is nearing completion as well.

Recent Work: Exhibition Centre MTR Station
The East Rail extension was opened on Sunday, May 15th. With 1 new station in Wan Chai North, the line now allows commuters to travel without stopping from the Hong Kong - Shenzhen border all the way to Hong Kong Island.
Farrells has designed the new Exhibition Centre MTR Station located adjacent to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
In the past years, there have been major infrastructure works completed with MTR line extensions that have increased connectivity of various areas in Hong Kong. I have photographed numerous new stations.

The photography and research work done in cooperation with Building Narrative will be part of a site-specific exhibition planned for this summer.

Hospitality Photography
Hong Kong has seen a number of new Hotels and Resorts open in the past years. From waterfront hotels to themed hotels, from luxury to family-oriented, there is an abundance of choices for each occasion. I was commissioned to photograph a few of these.

2021 - Year in Review
As 2021 wrapped up, it is time to look back at a great year for photography in Hong Kong.
I collected a short selection of projects photographed last year. From a wide range of architecture, it was hard to select only these 8 projects. 2021 was a wonderful year filled with great opportunities to photograph for all my clients.
Some of my favorite projects:
1. Henning Larsen’s Shaw Auditorium for The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, an absolute architectural marvel for Hong Kong, a building that is so much more than just an auditorium.
2. via.’s Atrium House for New World Development Company Limited I remember stepping inside for the first time and immediately feeling a sense of peace. A clubhouse that feels like a resort.
3. Sino Group’s major development Grand Central in Kwun Tong making the district ready for the next 50 years.
4. HSBC’s Queens Road Suites designed by Hassell, the ultimate sense of luxury within the business space.
Set within the iconic HSBC headquarters designed by Foster + Partners 37 years ago.
5. Hongkong Land Limited’s Centricity Flex, a new offering for their tenants. Luxury to a new height.
6. Tuen Ma Line’s new MTR Stations were designed by Farrells and Aedas. Great experience diving into the MTR network before opening.
7. Aedas designed WM Hotel in Sai Kung. A new waterfront hotel in Hong Kong, never enough of those!
8. Swire Properties’ Pacific Place in 2021. Still the mall with the most premium feel from the moment you step inside. New design by Heatherwick Studio
Thanks to all my clients for their trust.
Here's to another fabulous year for photography in 2022!
