‘HKCT provided me with a stage to unleash my creativity. Over the past two years of study, I have acquired various skills in digital imaging, including photography, shooting, video editing, and post-production. In addition to theoretical knowledge, in class, I also had the opportunity to operate various industry-standard photography equipment and editing software. Instructors also encouraged us to boldly experiment and continuously explore our own creative styles.
