German-born photographer, Michael Wolf, has lived in Hong Kong since 1995. His work focuses on the vernacular culture of people living in Hong Kong and China.
From the Robert Koch Gallery:
Wolf delves into subjects such as the formal and improvisational aesthetics of Hong Kong’s architectural forms, the often-overlooked human presence at the heart of international industry, and the idiosyncratic ways city-dwellers shape their surroundings in an “organic metropolis.”

Architectural photography is a wide concept and very less photographers have an eye of detail. You click gr8 Mr. Wolf!

I just saw four of this beautiful prints hanging at the M97 Gallery in Shanghai last weekend. They stopped me in my tracks.
I’m absolutely sure that they look breathtaking in prints!
Having just returned from a trip to Hong Kong, Wolf’s work is resonating with me. I love the 100×100 series.
