Photo call
Cyril Delettre, whose move to Hong Kong 10 years ago was prompted by the city's robustly developing art scene, is presenting a solo photography exhibition called I Am. He describes the show as "a portrait of a generation" with "no message". However, when viewed together, the black-and-white photographs of young men and women do tell a story.
Delettre got the idea for his show from watching young people getting photographed against some of Hong Kong's most Instagrammable backdrops. What fascinated him about those photography sessions was that the subjects of those photos were often in complete control of the shoots.
