oli_sones Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I'm going to be heading to Hong Kong for a few days on my way to Australia next month. I will not be seeking out protests to photograph, but as things are moving quickly, there maybe a chance I find myself in an area where they are taking place. Should this happen, I am debating whether to document what happens. Being a photographer I feel it's something you should do when presented with the opportunity, but realise this is a very tricky situation. I wonder if any members have any advice or experiences when coming across something like a protest and what the protocols are? I have shot some marches in London but these are of course peaceful and largely uneventful. I'll be taking my Hasselblad 501CM, so am thinking wider photos will be best, but may also take a digital body for my larger trip to Australia. Any thoughts greatly received!

Sandy Vongries Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Frankly, in my opinion it would be a good idea to avoid taking photos of anything which could be construed as political or security related. You might end up spending a great deal more time in Hong Kong / China than planned. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
