Street Photography nominee

This series was shot at 8am on the streets of Kowloon, the morning after Typhoon Mangkhut struck Hong Kong. The typhoon was the biggest to hit Hong Kong since 1983. The morning was crisp and fine; people carried on as per usual and did what they could to clear their surrounds; an unbelievable contrast to that of the previous day. The atmosphere was somber and accepting.

Refusing to solely bare the mantle of photographer, Dale Anne Scogings considers herself a multi-disciplinary designer. The South African born creative draws inspiration from her encounters with the everyday amalgamations of the natural and unnatural elements that exist throughout Asia.
Living in Japan, though a frequent traveler through Hong Kong and Korea, her photography has become an attempt to direct attention to the interweaving currents of dissonance and harmony, transience and permanence, form and void, that are forever illuminating the world.
