Thirty-one pet owning families feature in Mihaela Tudor’s Collective Portraits of South Lantau Pet Owners. In putting the collection together Mihaela, a professional photographer based in Mui Wo, says she was inspired by the beauty of Hong Kong’s natural landscape and its people – and the fact that every other family in Lantau has a pet.
“I have been lucky enough to spend the pandemic in a happy bubble, in Hong Kong’s countryside, a place that has experienced very few COVID-19 cases,” Mihaela says. “My intention for this series is to show a lesser-known part of Hong Kong and to share the stories of the people in my community. In a year when we spent much more time at home with our families, I wanted to celebrate togetherness, love and simple joy.”
