Book Flip-through: Why 你去Beach 吾玩水嘅
Hong Kong photography enthusiast Chow San has self-published 8 books since 2018, including 'Travel', 'IKEA Animals Pay Attention to Ancestors', 'Medical Research Report 2019' and 'Japanese Photos Chapter 1.15: New to Japan, please do not go Harajuku, because there are too many wild things to buy.' His photobook 'No Teacher But I Can Take Photos' was published by Zen Foto Gallery in 2020.
In 2024, Chow San released 'Why You Go to the Beach but not Play in Water'. The idea for the book was conceived during his trip to Utori and Hiroshima, Japan, in 2017 with friends. When his friends asked what places in Hong Kong he wanted to shoot, he replied that every summer since he was young (until the age of 20) he would play at Shek O Beach in Hong Kong. His friend then asked what the name of the book would be, and he quickly replied, "Why did you go to beach but not play in the water?"
From then until 2020, Chow San started shooting at Shek O Beach 😀

2017年和一班朋友去日本烏取和廣島旅行期間，朋友問我有乜嘢香港地方想影？我就話每逢夏天，由細幾歲玩到廿零歲的香港石澳海灘。 咁我印象中呢佢之後就問我咁個書名叫乜嘢？咁我好快手就話:「why你去beach吾玩水嘅」……. 之後到2020年就開始在石澳海灘拍攝呢輯相 😀
