In just five images Hong Kong-based photographer Andy Yeung manages to capture the lives of millions of people in Sheung Wan, Wan Chai and Sham Shui Po, from angles never-before seen online or in print.

The photo comes from Yeung’s Urban Jungle photo series, which involved the use of a drone over a period of two months, capturing scenes of Hong Kong’s immensely busy districts.

“I wanted to use a special angle to show how people can live in the world’s most densely populated city, Hong Kong,” he said in response to questions emailed by scmp.com.
