After taking a three-month-long break, Hong Kong singer-actress Karen Mok returned to the spotlight with a photography exhibition, sharing more than 200 photos she took during the trip, which she made with her husband Johannes Natterer.

With 13 different themes, the images were shot from last September when the couple set off to travel around the world, including the Amazon rainforest, Tahiti, Miami, and Iceland.

Mok married her German-born husband, who was also her first boyfriend, at a church near Florence, Italy, in 2011. Though their home is based in London, Mok had to travel for work and the couple had to live apart most of the time.

"It was the first time that I traveled only with my husband. We were together 24 hours a day. I didn't expect to take so many photos during the trip. I chose those exhibited photos from more than 10,000 photos as I wanted to share my great trip with fans," said the 44-year-old pop diva, who was at Yue Museum in Beijing's 798 Art Zone to unveil the exhibition on April 9.

Mok, who celebrated her 20-year anniversary of entering the showbiz in 2013, in Hong Kong, released her latest Mandarin album Departures in December 2014.

Mok said she planned the album and the trip with her husband at the same time around a year ago. The album, as she describes, expresses her personal stories of being flying frequently around the world for work.

The singer-actress, who broke into the entertainment scene in Hong Kong after graduating from University of London in 1990, is known for her rebellious and experimental style. She once shaved her head and sang songs that didn't cater to the mainstream market at that time.
