2.21 - "Needs Work" 

I'm an avid street photographer in the streets of Hong Kong.

The truth of the matter is, that you get your best shots at moments you least expect them.

I consider this piece in particular to be one of my more lucky shots. I was on my lunch break with camera in hand and as I descended down some stairs, I noticed the sliver of light. I tend to shoot manual and was still exposed for the bright outside surroundings. As this gentleman ascended the stairs, I snapped the pic without changing my settings to expose for the shadows.

I liked the outcome so much, that it kickstarted a complete new style in which I view the world and showcase my work.

And truth of the matter is this guy looks absolutely majestic going up a flight of stairs.

This pic was also chosen by Fstoppers for Editor's pick list and your instagram account. I find that lucky in its own right as Street photography is not really the main type of photography preferred by the community at large
