"Architects are trained to see a space before it's realised, so I
think photography helps me with that. But I'd also say it's the
other way around. My training helps me with the way I photograph. I
look at space with a more symmetrical eye, and you see a lot of
symmetry in my photos." ~ Vivien Liu Vivien Liu studied
architecture at the University of Waterloo and then attended
Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, where she was
awarded the prestigious Clifford Wong Prize in Housing Design. As
an architect, she has worked for nearly a decade in the United
States, Canada, the United Kingdom, China and Hong Kong, where she
now resides and first took up photography. As a photographer, she
quickly developed a strong sensibility portraying space as seen
through the first person, which now defines her style. What began
as a weekend pastime has transformed Vivien into one of the most
prolific urban photographers in Hong Kong, attracting over 240,000
followers on Instagram. Her first book, Being There explores the
dialogue and tension between people and spaces through portraiture,
landscapes, and street photography, from the urban density of Hong
Kong and Tokyo to epic natural landscapes like Zhangjajie, China.
With an architect's artful eye, Ms. Liu captures this juxtaposition
in the most beautiful way, sharply highlighting her eye for
patterns and symmetry across settings.
