Every city has its own landmarks and icons. For Hong Kong, among these are its neon lights. They don't only light up the city's bustling commercial centers, but have also been inspirational to creatives of various disciplines around the world.

The vivid neon glow of the city was instrumental for both the iconic films of Hong Kong auteur Wong Kar-Wai, and the futuristic imagery of cyberpunk classics like Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell. It is also constantly explored by photographers of all genres and visual styles, some of which you've seen us feature here. But with the steady decline of the artful neon signs, will these creatives -- photographers, especially -- also change the way they see and capture the city?. thephoblographer.com
