Cat in traditional Chinese Apothecary on Canton Road (2018). As of today, my favorite cat image taken during a Hong Kong Photo Tour/Lesson.
One thing you will quickly notice on my Hong Kong Photography Tours is there are plenty of cats in and around the market stalls and shops in the old Cantonese neighborhoods. These cats are well taken care of and are generally very friendly and not shy to be photographed.
In most instances, if you are unobtrusive, photographing the cat in an environmental style portrait offers an excellent opportunity to photograph the shops and their proprietors. These kinds of shops are typically family run businesses that have been around for many many years. There are also many cats running around freely in the streets. The cats are fed by the neighborhood and perform a genuine public service.
Hong Kong is a port city and there have always been rats to deal with. Hence, all the cats. There follows a gallery of some of my favorite cat images taken on the Streets of Hong Kong.
See you on the Streets of Hong Kong!
