When Dutch photographer Marcel Heijnen moved to Hong Kong, the territory’s shop cats instantly caught his eye. While the “feline emperors” are the stars, his shots also offer insights into Hong Kong’s wares, from dried fish to paper. Here: Hong Kong Shop Cats #22. (Photo by Marcel Heijnen/Blue Lotus)

Hong Kong Shop Cats #5. Heijnen, who co-founded the design collective Chemistry and Singapore gallery cafe Artistry, is as interested in the shops his feline subjects haunt as the cats themselves. His new book includes haikus and calligraphy alongside the images. (Photo by Marcel Heijnen/Blue Lotus)
Hong Kong Shop Cats #17. Marcel Heijnen returned to Hong Kong in 2015 and found himself living without a cat for the first time in decades. Soon, though, he was indulging in what he calls “re-tail therapy” and found himself on a first-name basis with a number of cats in his neighbourhood, Sai Ying Pun.
