Retro Scene Photography: Hong Kong Cha Chaan Teng

A classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng from the 1980s, green-and-white glazed tiled walls and a worn mosaic floor, round formica tables with bentwood chairs. Medium shot at eye level through the bustling dining room. Warm yellow tungsten light glows from dangling ceiling fans and fluorescent strips, steam rising from cups of silk-stocking milk tea on the counter. Handwritten menu boards in white and red hang above the open kitchen hatch, where a cook flips an omelet in a wok. Patrons sit reading newspapers, a b/w TV plays in the corner. Warm tungsten light from above with soft daylight from the front door, amber and green palette, nostalgic everyday-Hong-Kong atmosphere, 4k
