Cityscape nominee

Started as an experimental Free Trade Zone in the 1980s, Shenzhen quickly got rid of its paddy fields and filled its fishponds to make way for development at a speed rarely seen before. Bordering Hong Kong, it now has higher skyscapers, and a bigger population than it's southern neighbor. The fishponds that Shenzhen once had can now only be seen in the northern most part of Hong Kong, the foreground in this photo.

I moved to Hong Kong ten years ago from the Netherlands and have been photographing locally for the last eight years. I also took my camera and travels to many different Asian, European and Middle Eastern countries. My work ranges from landscape to cityscape, form street to nature. I aim for my photos to evoke emotion and a sense of wonder about life and nature in very diverse locations across the globe.
