Photographer Eddie Huynh teamed up with Film Coffee HK for his first solo exhibition, bringing visual art into everyday life — a moment with craft coffee, surrounded by images and stories.
Selected works from 2014 onwards trace a journey through war, pain and numbness towards awakening, hope and liberation.
“No matter how desperate life is, as long as you hold on to your beliefs, you can always find light and colour in the darkness.”

AN EVENING IN MOTION.
Photography × Café Exhibition at Film Coffee HK — the atmosphere, the artworks and the people who shared the event.
01 / 08
The Wars
Model: Rhynie Yip · Styling: Eddie Huynh
The pressure, stress, anger and sadness of modern life can slowly become toxic, consuming us without warning. Created shortly before the pandemic, this work reflects a Hong Kong atmosphere clouded by uncertainty and a future that felt impossible to see.
02 / 08
Da Smoke
Model: Sabrina Chan · Makeup: Luna Chung
Fear, anger, jealousy and sadness surround us. Smoke becomes a metaphor for desire: intangible, everywhere, and able to enter both body and soul.
03 / 08
The Pain
Model: Iryna Z · Makeup: Jun Lui · Headwear & Styling: Eagco Leung
Pain grows from desire and contradiction. Yellow represents conscience and the mind; blue reflects selfishness and mercilessness. The work was built through image design and styling around these two opposing colours.
04 / 08
The Sorrow
Model: LISA·1958 · Makeup: Luna Chung · Styling: MadeofWater.Art
Sorrow accumulates through failure, pain and the passage of time. How many regrets remain? How many sleepless nights — and how much sorrow are we still unable to face?
05 / 08
The Poker Face
Model: Anastasia Stolbova · Makeup: Luna Chung
After prolonged contradiction and conflict within the heart, numbness takes hold. Photographed with ultraviolet light, the image was a technical and emotional challenge for the entire team.
06 / 08
The Awaken
Model: Aanchal Wadhwani · Makeup: Cindy Lai
At the moment the world seemed to have given up on me, a light appeared. I realised I was not alone. Life moves through darkness and light, sustained by the people who help and support us along the journey.
07 / 08
The Stars
Model: Aanchal Wadhwani · Makeup: Regina Chan
We can be the stars. We can become who we are — shining for ourselves while helping others find their own light.
08 / 08
The Liberation
Model: Trian Po Po · Makeup: Chili Fong
We are free: no longer trapped by emotion or circumstance, but becoming better through love and the courage to face every challenge.
