How to get the best out of Hong Kong’s streets for your photos: a Magnum nominee’s advice

London-based street photographer Matt Stuart doesn’t like posing for pictures but he’s game to ham it up for our photographer at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, where angled, pink-tiled pillars create triangular shadows.

Posed photos aren’t what Stuart is known for – his are based on chance, perfect timing and being fast. They are quirky and light-hearted: a man walking down a street holds a walking stick to his face with the handle looking like a joke nose; a large dog appears to be sitting in the front seat of a car; a man stands near an ad depicting a giant pointing finger.
