Award-winning Belgian photographer Kris Vervaeke presents a new series of photographs documenting Hong Kong’s fortune teller shops. More than 100 tiny shops line an alley behind a Taoist temple. Their commercial uniformity of each office contrasts with the colourful, spiritual tradition. Vervaeke is publishing a photobook soon – in the meantime, you can view more of his Hong Kong work on his portfolio here.
