Vic Shing is a photographer capturing Hong Kong’s independent live music performances. Since 2009, he has been shooting and documenting the changes and continuity in the indie music scene in Hong Kong under the moniker Music Surveillance, tirelessly and relentlessly chronicling gigs and performances in the city. The name Music Surveillance refers to how the cameras are arranged like CCTVs before each show, with Vic Shing oscillating between filming in a fixed location and darting back and forth the venue. Vic Shing does not discriminate between music genres—he’s at every show that interests him. The photographs and video recordings of these shows are uploaded onto the Music Surveillance Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube pages, with almost daily updates.
