香港是一个只有一千多平方公里的城市。一百多年来形成了它所独有的文化及生活方式。受英国教育模式的影响，部分学校又形成了分校（学校分为男校及女校）的格局。随着成长，对异性的窥视所带来的好奇又因为这种教育形式受到压抑。快速发展的商业社会促成了人与人之间更深的隔阂。

摄影艺术家沈嘉豪年青的时候正是生活在个环境中，在种种原因的积累下形成了内敛的个性，不敢面对女性，更莫说是注视女性。许多年之后虽然问题已经解决，他还是有兴趣把它作为一艺术探索项目。从2006年他开始透过摄影，一项躲在照相机后的艺术行为，注视着现实中他从前所不敢面对的主体，并与之沟通。透过镜头，摄影师在看、或者说是视觉侵略这些女性的同时，也被这些女性同时注视着。 在形形式式的香港女性肖像作品中，呈现了她们独特的内在情绪。如艺术家本人所形容的：她们自信、有个人风格又充满「? 畚丁沟摹?他戏剧性的把「港女」们置放在虚无的实景中，在高度注视的同时不失利用周边事物对人物进行刻画，烘托每个个体的特质。

经过镜头这个通道触探心灵，搭建了人与人之间相互释放的平台。在这种坦然的心态中他们彻底地释放了自己。正是这种心态及行为的改变，将自己带入了一个前所未思的新领地。

Opening ceremony

Venue：ME Photo Art Gallery

Hong Kong is an international metropolis with around 1000 square kilometers. The hundred years of history contributed to it’s unique local culture and life style. Under the influence of the British education system in the colonial period, there were many schools in where students were only boys or girls. Because of such special growing environment, youngsters’ curiosity the opposite sex was encouraged, but was also suppressed in their peer groups. As a result, gap of communication between people became wider and wider under the rapid growth of economy.

The photography artist, Bobby Sham was one of the Hongkongers growing in such environment. He was passive in front of women that never gazes women, or even face them when he was young. Now although he has overcome his problem, he is interested to treat it as one of his creative themes. In 2006, he started to use photography to “set free” himself. He hid behind the large format camera, focused on the objects that he was shy to face in reality, and communicated with every “she”, who was also looking at the guy paying attention to them through the lens. Bobby’s works showed the “Kong ladies” (Hong Kong girls) innate nature, confident, unique and very local. Making use of the background of shooting place, Bobby successfully blown-up the unique character of each Kong lady and focused on them without shyness.

Lens is a bridge of communication between the photographer and the model, who are both encouraged to show off the perso nal core and transformed to another “me”.
