Samson Lok, often known as Cheong Gor, is a visionary photographer and the founder of Zhao Xiang Guan Camera Workshop Studio Equipment Ltd. His work embodies the vibrant contrasts of Hong Kong, a city where diverse experiences coexist in a dynamic tapestry of life.

 

In his series, Parallel Hong Kong, Lok captures the essence of this urban landscape, where bustling streets and serene hills share the same breath. His photography reveals the simultaneous existence of struggle and leisure, tradition and innovation, noise and silence. Each image serves as a window into the layered realities of the city, inviting viewers to reflect on the rhythms and narratives that unfold around them.

 

Through his lens, Lok seeks to acknowledge the often-overlooked moments that define our shared existence. His work is not merely about comparison; it is an invitation to recognise the beauty and complexity of life as it is lived.

 

By highlighting these contrasts, Samson Lok encourages us to connect with one another, fostering a deeper understanding of the world we inhabit together.
