Duran Levinson is a filmmaker originally from Cape Town, South Africa. Aside from filmmaking, he’s an avid globetrotter and photographer whose travels have taken him throughout Asia. He admits the massive metropolises of Asia fascinate him way more than his hometown. Out of his travels, one of his favorite locations to capture is Hong Kong, a place he frequently visits every year for weeks at a time.
Duran Levinson是一名来自南非开普敦的影片制作人，但在拍摄影片之外的时间，他也喜欢带着他的相机去四处拍照。除了他的家乡南非之外，他更情迷亚洲的城市，香港就是其中一个他特别钟情的拍摄地点。Duran每年会去香港旅行几次，每次待上半个月左右的时间。
“The Kowloon side of Hong Kong appeals to me the most because of the chaos and beauty,” Levinson fondly describes. “I love that it’s so messy, so busy, and so cluttered. For photography I would say it is one of the most interesting places in the world I have ever photographed in.”
“我喜欢九龙地区的杂乱，这里就像是整个世界被浓缩在一小块区域里。这种混乱嘈杂和忙碌正是九龙最吸引我的地方。这里有最有趣的建筑，但走几条街又有自然风景。对于一个摄影师来说，我可以说这是全世界我拍过最有意思的地方了。”
Beyond the chaotic beauty of Hong Kong, Levinson’s love of the city can also be attributed to the people he’s met there. “I have so many great friends in Hong Kong. I always enjoy spending time there working and shooting with new and old friends. I believe people in Hong Kong are more exposed to creativity than a lot of other Asians, and this can help with planning and organizing shoots. I find that my friends in Hong Kong are always down for adventure and spontaneous photo missions.” See more of Hong Kong through his eyes below.
另一个喜欢香港的原因，Duran说是因为那里的人。“我有很多好朋友在香港，我很享受拍摄时和老朋友叙旧，也喜欢通过拍摄认识新的朋友。比起亚洲其他地方，这里的人更多受到西方文化的影响，他们更大胆。拍摄时我有什么新奇大胆的想法，他们都很愿意去尝试去冒险，这也是我喜欢在这拍照的原因。”下面一起随Duran的镜头看看他眼中的香港吧。
