Accidental Encounters: Greg Girard’s Hong Kong
The Canadian photographer reflects on his career and considers the ways that Hong Kong has shaped his practice.
When an 18-year-old Greg Girard first stepped off a freighter from San Francisco into Hong Kong, he entered a city that would profoundly influence the course of his career. Over the decades that followed, the Canadian photographer’s images have captured the city’s energy, overlooked corners, and fleeting moments of transformation. In this article, Girard reflects on how Hong Kong inspired his career, the intimacy of street level observation, and the full circle satisfaction of seeing his archival photographs returning to the place of their creation.
