Hong Kong being apart of the British Colony makes me feel so much closer to Hong Kong; I am a British born Chinese girl. I am not fluent in Chinese and although as I grow up I have been going to Hong Kong much more frequently, I don't feel like I have a huge connection with being Chinese. I have grown up like any other english girl, I had very little Chinese friends in fact I would still say the same. It seems that even now I try to avoid my identity in being Chinese, it was never really a priority to me but as I grow up I try to embrace it all a lot more. I remember a time when I was young, I once said to my mum that it felt that I didn't know where I belonged because we're not white but I am not exactly Chinese. I stand out like a sore thumb in both England and Hong Kong. She replied to me with "you belong anywhere where you feel at home." I am British and I am Chinese but ultimately I am more British than Chinese, I hope as I grow older I embrace and learn a lot more about my culture.

There are two things that I love about these two shoots; one being that I think shooting in Hong Kong is just something else. The interior and architecture is so different compared to London, I am so glad I waited this long to shoot here because now I feel that I am at a somewhat standard to create images I can start being proud of. And my second point is that these two shoots was the first use of using my brand new camera which I purchased in Hong Kong (I upgraded from a Canon 500D to a Canon 5D MK III - although that may not mean anything to many of my readers, for me it was literally like a whole new world opened up and it made me fall in love with photography again).
