Former Legislative Council Building Façade

The featured image was taken on the west side of the Former Legislative Council Building. You can find its beautiful arches all along the building’s perimeter. By MTR: - Closest MTR Station: Central (Island Line & Tsuen Wan Line) - Take Exit “H” - Head East on Charter Rd Address: Former Legislative Council Building, 8 Jackson Rd, Central, Hong Kong

All months of the year are suitable to photograph along the Former Legislative Council Building.

By visiting in the morning you’ll be able to enjoy the soft light hitting the west side of the building. It’s also likely to be less crowded at that time.

I was able to frame the column and arches with my 50mm portrait lens — a wide-angle isn’t necessary.

If you’re photographing a model it’s best if they wear a bright color that contrasts with the grey walls.

Have fun with your model! If you’re capturing them in motion it’s best to take continuous shots and select your favorite later.

There are several perspectives to shoot the walkway arches. Experiment and find your optimal view!

Enjoy Central — Hong Kong’s business district that will dwarf you with its skyscrapers. There are also several restaurants and great shops in the area.
