Consumerism (Series)
DESCRIPTION
This project is use of multiple exposures to overlies images of Hong Kong local brands, advertisement and even traces of city dwellers lives upon each other. The detail of these symbolic icons reflect the social phenomena of consumerism and economic growth in Hong Kong.
For both better and worst of consumerism and economic growth draws upon us all at some point and unifies the people of Hong Kong to function together. On the contrary, the impact of the capitalism has also demolished our uniqueness.
AUTHOR
Standsfield To, Hong Kong based life moment photographer, fell in love with photography all because of his wife. His knowledge in photography is self-taught without formal training. The visual and thinking of two Japnese photographers Tomatsu Shomei and Ihei Kimura affected him the most.
Standsfield walks with his compact film camera to capture different slice of life. His belief is to directly capture and present that split of a second life moment.
Without specific topic to work on, all he does is to watch stealthily all the time in creating his work. In 2013, he published his 1st photobook "Watch Stealthily". In 2014, he opened his solo exhibition "Life Moment".
