Hong Kong photographer Howard Tong has been awarded two honorable mentions in the latest Paris Photo Prize (PX3) international photography competition, featuring images of Macau.
The two photos of last year’s edition of the Macau Fireworks Contest and another of the Grand Lisboa Hotel building were part of the photographer’s six awards in the same competition, including one silver award and five honorable mentions.
Describing himself as a landscape, cityscape, and street photographer, Tong’s work has the unique attribute of being taken using mobile phones, one of his main characteristics and a form of specialization chosen by the photographer.
The two pictures featuring Macau locations and events were awarded in the category of Special/Night Photography and were granted two honorable mentions.
Concurrently, the Macau-based Portuguese photographer Gonçalo Lobo Pinheiro has also received a Silver Award at the same competition in the category of Press/Sports.
Pinheiro presented a series of photos from the Volleyball Nations League event held in the neighboring region of Hong Kong last year. RM
