HONG KONG
A digital camera received as a 30th birthday gift-followed by a trip to Myanmar-"really opened my eyes to how much I enjoy taking pictures", says Hong Kong-based photographer Harold de Puymorin. A native of Toulouse, France, De Puymorin moved to Hong Kong in 2011 to work in telecommunications.
"After two years, I felt I had done my time being a salesperson," he says. He then launched his business, HDP Photography Services. He has since established a reputation as one of Hong Kong's most renowned photographers, known especially for capturing architecture and interiors. His works were exhibited at the Affordable Art Fair 2021, among others.
De Puymorin grew up in an artistic household, though says he didn't always think he would specialise in architectural photography. But "I was always really attracted by shapes and movement and design," he says. "I like the freedom this type of photography gives and the challenge of telling a story of a space."
PHILIPPINES
The main theatre at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the Tanghalang Pambansa (above), was designed by one of the leaders of the brutalist movement, artist and architect Leandro Locsin. He envisioned the building as being representative of his signature "floating volume" style.
