The Overwhelming Symmetry Of Hong Kong’s Architecture Captured By Peter Stewart

Australian photographer Peter Stewart has found a novel photographic perspective on one of the most populated places in the world – Kong Kong. In his mesmerizing “Stacked – Hong Kong” photo series, the photographer finds beauty in the region’s monotonously expansive skyline, focusing on unexpected viewpoints to capture the never-ending urban mosaics of never-ending public housing towers. His photos look up from the ground floor of tall towers and look down from the top flights of tall stairways.

“ Shooting this type of photography is a lot easier than you might think, ” Stewart told thecreatorsproject. “ All it takes really is a keen eye for finding the beauty in the monotonous; the everyday structures that we often fail to appreciate, “ adding that “ it’s easier at night when there is less foot traffic around and you can easily sneak into areas like stairwells or alleyways between buildings without anyone taking notice. “
