## **Communications** *Talking, texting, typing — the choreography of staying connected.* This week, the focus is on **how people communicate in public** — phones, gestures, conversations, glances, and distractions. We’re surrounded by it: * Heads tilted toward screens * People talking, laughing, deciding * Fingers tapping out messages * Cables dangling from pockets * Video calls on sidewalks * Loud Bluetooth conversations no one asked to overhear * Quiet moments of connection—or isolation—in a crowd Let’s photograph **what communication looks like today**, out on the street. Person to person, person to device, person to the world. *** ### What to Look For: * **People mid-call** — expressive gestures, facial tension, pacing * **Texting and typing** — heads down, thumbs moving, lost in thought * **Groups talking** — animated, laughing, arguing, leaning in * **This isn't just phone** — its about people sharing ideas, jokes, decisions and commentary * **One-sided conversations** — people speaking into the air via earbuds * **Body language** — implications to the person nearby, or hardware device; posture shaped by headphones, screens, or social cues * **Solo moments** — someone sitting alone, preoccupied with their screen This is about **motion, emotion, and connection and disconnection** — how we communicate *with, without*, or *through* devices *** ### Approach & Style Ideas: * Shoot **fast** — gestures and expressions come and go quickly * Use a **longer lens** if you want to keep distance * Or go **wide and close** to emphasize context and contrast * Try **candid street portraits** of people mid-gesture * Look for **layers** — someone talking in the foreground, someone texting in the back * Play with **reflection** — phones in windows, faces in screens * Go for **motion blur** if it helps tell the story of urgency or distraction *** ### Why This Matters: We’re all constantly communicating — but often, we’re not really *present*. This assignment is a way to document the **modern rituals of connection** — or perhaps, **disconnection**. It’s a chance to photograph the **little human dramas** happening everywhere: the argument on or off the phone, the joke shared, the waiting, the searching, the scrolling. *** ### Meet-Up Details: **Start:** 2:30 PM **Location:** Mong Kok MTR Exit D3, street level, by the phone booth—how appropriate! **Debrief:** 4:00 PM at Couch Club (subject to change). G/F T.O.P. Building, 700 Nathan Road, Mong Kok. Let’s talk about what we saw — and what people *didn’t* see, while staring into their screens. *** ### After the Walk: Post up to **5-7 images** that capture **communication in action** — or in absence. Look for **emotion, contrast, and expression**. What does it look like when people are reaching out — and what does it look like when they’re not? COMMENT on your fellow photographers work. Constructive criticism is welcome, but the idea is to be involved.

**A creative social meetup celebrating love, friendship, and human connection through photography.** **Hong Kong** joins a global Valentine’s pop-up happening in cities around the world, from Lisbon to Barcelona to New York, bringing people together to create portraits in a relaxed and welcoming environment. *This is not a dating event.* It is a community meetup where photographers and participants connect, collaborate, and create together. **Everyone is welcome** Come solo, with friends, or with your partner. This event is open to: **People who love photography** **People who want to be photographed** **People who enjoy creative and social experiences** No pressure. No expectations. Just connection. **Who can join** Photographers, videographers and content creators Digital, film, Polaroid or smartphone Beginners, enthusiasts and professionals welcome **Participants** Couples, friends or solo attendees No experience needed, just curiosity and openness This is a shared space to practice portraits, experiment with ideas and meet people naturally. **How the experience works** Short portrait exchange sessions. Pair up or form small groups and rotate freely. Everyone is encouraged to both give and receive at least one portrait. You can stay with one group or move around, follow your energy. **Important** No tripods or external flashes, please shoot handheld If asked by officials, we are a social gathering of friends, not a professional production **Meeting point** [📍 ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/T8QeErRJXMeQu4tVA)**[Starbucks, 24 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui](https://maps.app.goo.gl/T8QeErRJXMeQu4tVA)** Time: 4:30 PM From there, we’ll walk together along the **harbour promenade** for golden-hour portraits. **Stay connected** Join our [WhatsApp group ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Hr41O1UJ39b0DMcd1cp7Mo?mode=gi_t)for live updates and location sharing Follow us on Instagram [@takeaphotowalkcommunity](https://www.instagram.com/takeaphotowalkcommunity/) **Global gallery** Tag @takeaphotowalkcommunity Use #takeaphotowalkHongKong Selected photos will appear in our global gallery Love in Focus.
