A rare natural phenomenon, a sea of clouds occasionally envelops the entire city of Hong Kong, leaving only the tallest skyscrapers visible above the mist for several hours. As the fog shifts gracefully, these towers emerge, their lights casting an ethereal glow, creating a mesmerising and magical scene.
Tomoaki Katsuba is a multiple award-winning Japanese photographic artist based in Hong Kong, specialising in landscape, cityscape, and street photography. He explores the harmony and contrast among serene nature, the vibrancy of the built environment, and the intimate individual stories of urban life, revealing their ever-changing dialogue. His ability to blend photographic realism with an almost painterly aesthetic, recognised in numerous prestigious international competitions and global publications, gives his work a timeless and dreamlike quality with rich atmosphere and emotional depth.
