Macau Street Photography: A Lumix GM1 Journey

Introduction

In May 2025, my Lumix GM1 and 20mm F1.7 lens became my constant companions as I embarked on a street photography journey through the vibrant city of Macau. I focused on capturing the city's contrasts, from ancient temples and sculptures to modern urban life. I found beauty in everyday details, like the varied walls of red, blue, and green, and the occasional burst of nature in houseplants. The city's rhythm unfolded through daylight scenes of apartments, bustling streets filled with motorcycles and buses, and prominent billboards. Every element, from worn walls and wood stains to discarded toys, told a story, inviting me to continue exploring Macau's unique blend of tradition and modernity.
