Winners
HKDI Young Design Talent Award
Lee Lik Tsz, Justin
Communication Design | Graduate of HKDI (Film, Television & Photography)

“I am drawn to preserving historical structures through my fine art photography, capturing their serene and beautiful essence that evokes a sense of fantasy and wonder.”

 

Justin graduated from the Hong Kong Design Institute, where he obtained a Higher Diploma in Film, Television & Photography, in 2023. He was first runner-up in the "See the World in Hong Kong Photo Contest" hosted by the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Hong Kong and the VTC, and also received the Gold Award at the Prix De La Photographie Paris 2022, as well as honourable mentions at the New York Photography Awards 2022, and the Tokyo International Foto Awards 2022.

 

Justin's artistic style is characterised by the technical proficiency that enables him to capture the essence of subjects, and particularly Hong Kong's vibrant urban life . His Final Year Project, "The Portrait of Architecture," shows the influence of famous photographers' techniques in taking buildings. This series features structures such as The Murray Hong Kong hotel, Lippo Centre, Bank of China Tower, Xiqu Centre, the Palace Museum, and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University Jockey Club Innovation Tower. Justin's approach involves humanising these buildings, and treating them as individuals with distinct characters. By capturing images from unusual angles, highlighting architectural lines, and accentuating their structural silhouettes, he conveys their personality and uniqueness. Each photograph involved meticulous composition and framing, and intensive post-production work, resulting in captivating visuals that breathe life into the structures.

 

Justin would like to specialise in architecture photography and work in interior space photography studios in mainland China. He recognises the value of hands-on experience and learning about spatial humanistic architectural thinking.
