Honorable Mention / 2023 / Portraiture / Self-Portrait

LIGHT WITHIN SHADOW

Similar to the photography journey, my travel in Japan and the Philippines allowed me to be embraced by highlight and shadow.

A true reflection on a big glass wall surface combined with the inner image really created an interesting meaning for me.

Walking against the strong chilly wind on a lava beach during sunrise was a remarkable experience.

Enjoying the tranquil scenery at a lake-side resort hotel in Mindanao Island, vastly and deeply devastated by a super typhoon causing two months of blackout and a dark Christmas in the Year 2021, was another contradicting experience.

Kirby Ma is a passionate Chinese Canadian photographer based in Hong Kong, practicing street photography, portraits, landscape, cityscape, nature, and snaps.

Due to the nature of previous employment engagements, he was stationed in different countries such as Egypt, the Philippines, the USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, Taiwan, etc., and had close encounters and a better understanding of the local culture and people to extensively perform portraits and street photography.

His vision is to share the joy of photography and bring more happiness to the people.
