Electric Hong Kong

A creative street photography workshop

This isn’t just any photo tour, it’s a journey into the heart of one of the most dynamic, cinematic cities on Earth. In this workshop, you'll see Hong Kong not as a tourist, but through the eyes of someone who has lived there, breathed its rhythm and learned how to translate it into images.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Unleash your creativity and take your photography to the next level with this night photography workshop. We'll explore Hong Kong's vibrant streets, capturing its bustling energy, with neon lights illuminating the night and taxis passing by.

You'll learn how to experiment with multiple exposure, blending modes and camera settings to create unique and stunning images. As you explore the city's vibrant streets, you'll discover new ways to capture its energy and beauty, expanding your visual perspective and artistic expression. Get ready to enhance your creative vision and take your photography to new heights.

WHAT WE'LL SHOOT

Our tour will start in Tsim Sha Tsui, where the vibrant nightlife of Hong Kong's southern tip sets the tone for our journey.
From there, we'll take the metro to Yau Ma Tai, where we'll walk through Portland street and its neon lights.
Next, we'll arrive in Mong Kok and we'll stop by the Minibus Terminus on Tung Choi Street, a must-visit spot for night photography in Hong Kong, where the vibrant energy and eclectic mix of old and new provide endless opportunities to capture stunning shots. While exploring the streets of Mong Kok, we'll stop by the street market and its pedestrian bridges, before ending up at T.O.P. Mall with a brief shooting session inside its colorful glass bridge.

ABOUT ME

I’m Sergio Capuzzimati. I lived and worked many years living in Hong Kong, wandering its hidden corners, climbing over rooftops and most of all, exploring its cinematic streets after dark.
I’ve exhibited my work in galleries and art fairs, and my photobook Electric Dreams captures the city’s neon soul and its layered urban energy. I shoot creatively, especially using multiple exposure to weave together scenes of light and life into dreamlike narratives. In this workshop, I’ll not only guide you through locations but help you explore creative techniques, push your vision and capture images that feel uniquely yours.​

WHY THIS WORKSHOP IS SPECIAL

Imagine walking the buzzing neon-lit alleys of Kowloon at night…the glow of signs reflected on wet pavement, the blur of taxis rushing by, the electric hum of the city.
This isn’t just any photo tour, it’s a journey into the heart of one of the most dynamic, cinematic cities on Earth. In this workshop, you'll see Hong Kong not as a tourist, but through the eyes of someone who has lived there, breathed its rhythm and learned how to translate it into images.
