Behind the Scenes

A low-key black-and-white image of a silhouetted shop owner preparing for opening in a dimly lit, enclosed market space. The bold contrast highlights shapes and textures, capturing an urban mood with a striking, moody atmosphere.

Photographer in Focus

As an avid photography enthusiast hailing from Hong Kong, Ken To firmly believes that photography possesses the power to inspire others and make a positive impact on people’s lives by spreading love and hope.

Growing up in a family impacted by Huntington’s Disease – a rare and incurable genetic disorder, Ken feels compelled to utilise art as a platform to share his exceptional life experiences and raise awareness about rare diseases.

For Ken, photography is a means to sustain learning, cultivate creativity and seek new inspiration. While he specialises in black-and-white photography, he is also exploring the vibrant world of street photography to capture the spontaneous energy of urban life and uncover hidden stories within everyday scenes.
