Douce met Lotus a young teacher based in Guangzhou a few years ago and was fascinated by her unusual beauty and youthful curiosity. Lotus quickly became the muse of the photographer. They met regularly between Hong Kong and Guangzhou for photographic sessions, a mix between fashion shoots and documentary.
In this photographic project The Apartment, showing intimate pictures of Lotus in her apartment and street views, Douce wanted to share the ambiguity between past and present of those cities combining pop and colourful mise en scene in sets frozen in the past. Most of these photographs were taken with a film camera and are minimally edited to keep their authenticity.
Covering the hottest new eats, the best places to play, offbeat takes on local culture, and so much more, Localiiz is every Hongkonger’s destination for how to live a well-rounded life in our vibrant city. Why the strange spelling? Well, Localiiz is designed to be your “local eyes”—and for that, you need two i’s.
