Hinson Li

Film Photography

Film forces me to pause, observe and truly see — one frame at a time. I am Hinson Li, a photographer based in Hong Kong, and every frame below was made on film: street corners and working people, coastlines, and neon after dark. One exposure per frame — no previews, no second chances.
