Similar to Greek photographer Anthimos Ntagkas, Edas Wong likes to play in the streets with a camera. Only, Wong primarily does it on the other side of the world — Hong Kong.

His playful shots cleverly utilize both the foreground and background. In many cases, it's even hard to tell which of them is the cornerstone of the image; whether it's a man in front of a poster that gives him a Goku haircut or someone walking with shoes that look just like the fish painted on the ground, the dance between the two is often what makes the image.

Wong started dabbling in street photography in 2012. "The reason why I chose this particular type of photography as opposed to any other is quite simple, actually," he told Bored Panda. "I didn't need to learn an advanced technique or have expensive gear; just my small camera. Ideal for a beginner."

Wong approaches the whole process as a somewhat meditative experience. "In order to take a memorable street photo, I try to empty my mind as much as possible and really concentrate on the street itself."

Being present and immersing himself in the area allows Wong to spot even the smallest details and capture events as they unfold, such that cannot be foreseen and take place in only a split second.

"When I am shooting, it's all instinctual, I do not plan my shots," Wong said. "I just go out there and enjoy everything around me."

Totally random and off point here but this picture just reminded me of this! Right, has anyone seen the Jimmy Kimmel YouTube video of Ben Affleck on his show, and Ben's telling Jimmy how his scene in the movie Batman V Superman has been cut out of the movie? In the scene (where Bruce Wayne is talking to Clark Kent) Jimmy's holding up his phone taking a picture of Bruce Wayne when he realises, because of the way he's holding the phone, that Bruce Wayne is actually Batman! And then Clark Kent removes his glasses and Kimmel realises he's Superman, so he starts telling everyone else who they are lol! It's funnier if you watch it lol, I'm really not good at explaining it! But the crux of the joke is that that's the reason why Kimmel's scene was cut from the movie lol! It is quite funny lol!
