For Tam Keng, «photography is not only an easy-to-learn art, it is also a way to understand the inner achievements that art can bring to a person. The pursuit of photography art is so much more: a kind of enjoyment and personal gratification». The artist says that “as long as there is light, it’s possible to capture the moment”. “Every piece of work I show, I hope it tells a story and creates an emotional connection. Even if I review it after a long time, it will always be a touching moment for me”, are quotes by the author revealed by Paul Ao Leong, President of Skyscape Times, in the foreword of the exhibition.
