Capturing moments on SZ's street

On the streets of Shenzhen, you never know what you might find. Street photographers and city documentarians alike appreciate the ever-evolving landscapes of Shenzhen and its people. I, too, find myself drawn to interesting scenes and compositions, and Shenzhen has no shortage of these.

Like many casual and professional photographers, we often see the city as a backdrop to the lives of its residents. Photography becomes a way to tell our stories, capturing moments of family, neighbors, or even complete strangers, and sharing these moments creates a deeper connection between our values and those of others.

In a city so vast and more connected than ever, it's easy to grab your camera — whether digital or film — and hop on the metro to any part of Shenzhen. Whether exploring a new neighborhood or revisiting a familiar one, you’re bound to discover something new.
