Shenzhen's photography community

I'm actively involved in Shenzhen’s photography community, which includes members from all over the world. Together, they participate in city excursions, events, and workshops. I truly relish the photographer community here in Shenzhen. It’s mostly organized by me actually, alongside a few key members who re dedicated to propelling the community to reach some goals.

Presently, our activities range from half-day city trips to full-day excursions outside Shenzhen. We’ve visited Hong Kong and Guangzhou several times. Our upcoming itinerary includes Zhongshan, due to the new bridge there. In our community, my role involves scouting intriguing locations within the city and persuading others to join me in exploring and capturing these spots.

My aim is to foster the local international photography community into a respectable organization that can properly present Shenzhen to an international audience.

I'm particularly fond of the convenience Shenzhen offers. With extensive digitalization, I can manage almost everything through my phone, from utilizing public transportation and renting cars to ordering food for delivery. The rapidity and affordability of these conveniences are elevating Shenzhen’s appeal. In comparison to Europe, such services would be more costly and time-consuming.

Even for mundane needs, the ease of access is impressive. If I run out of an item, all I need to do is place a quick order and it will be delivered within 15 minutes. I’m also impressed by the city’s efficient public transportation system. With public transport, you can really get everywhere easily. It allows you, even as a visitor or as a photographer, to explore the city.
