Hong Kong Photographer Won Accolade in Prestigious Photography Prize
Tam Ming Keung, a photographer of United Social Press, won the silver prize in the General News category of the 2020 Franch Photography Prize PX3.
The award-wining photo captured a chaotic scene at Shatin's Newtown Plaza on July 14, 2019 when the riot police violently dispersed pro-democracy civilians.
The photographer shared his thoughts on receiving the accolade:
“It is still hard to believe that police actually clash with civilians in the shopping malls. The violent incidents that took place in shopping arcades were mostly associated with terrorist attack or gun shots.
However, in Hong Kong it is almost certain that on several days of a month, heavy police presence would be found in some shopping malls, turning these premises into military grounds, as if martial laws were imposed.
On each floor, plain-clothes police could be seen discreetly standing and scouting, while riot police troop up and down, setting up cordon with orange duct tapes and intercepting shoppers at their will.”
