Rudmer Hoekstra

Rudmer first started taking photos as a teenager. Photography became a serious and passionate pursuit after he moved to Hong Kong from his native Netherlands and purchased his first DSLR in 2009.

He combined his two greatest passions - cinema and photography - and took inspiration from the design, mood and colors of movies like Blade Runner, Dark City, Stalker and Ghost in the Shell. He prefers to capture Hong Kong's cityscape and gritty back alleys in the dark or at twilight and turns still imagery into photographic art in a style reminiscent of these past iconic movies.

He finds beauty in an urban landscape cloaked in darkness, punctuated by a contrasting warm and cold neon tones.

Hong Kong after dark, lit like a film set.

Rudmer took photos as a teenager in the Netherlands, but it became serious after he moved to Hong Kong and bought his first DSLR in 2009. He brings his other love, cinema, to the street: the mood and colour of Blade Runner, Dark City and Ghost in the Shell. He shoots back alleys and the skyline in darkness or at twilight, where warm and cold neon meet.
