Just like advertising photography; here is a series on street photography blending with environment with a subject. Sometimes\u00a0 the moment is indeed a stroke of luck.

It\u2019s a public housing built in the 70\u2019s on Hong Kong Island. It\u2019s also known as the the \u201cfather of public housing\u201d. When I arrived, I realized it\u2019s not that public as one needed an excess card to get in for security reasons. I was tempted to just go back and forget about this location. Instead I waited for a while and boldly blend in with the crowd and just walk <br \/>\nin. It\u2019s truly a classic architecture marvel. After checking this building I found my spot and waited for a resident on the right level to walk pass. I was fortunate to nail it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/personalbest_ivan-joshua-loh_09.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/personalbest_ivan-joshua-loh_09.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>I only stayed for 15 minutes before I was busted. Wish I could stay longer. A security officer found me and ask me politely in cantonese to leave as I wasn\u2019t a resident. Was it worth the risk for this shot of an old resident in Lai Tak Tsuen\u201d?\u00a0 It certainly was and I can\u2019t promised I won\u2019t do it again.<\/p>\n<p>This photo won 2 Honorable Mention in 2017.
