Lightspeed

  1. I' see life differently. I always have. I was born with a congenital eye anomaly. Photography brought stillness and clarity to my wavering sight.

For the past decade I have experimented with photographic painting: a technique using light, movement and symmetry to create contemporary photographic art. My influences include Henri Cartier-Bresson (a painter himself), Edward Weston and Duane Michals.

One Step Ahead

In the summer morning, the sunshine pours onto the surface of the Yundang Lake, and the egrets and big fish are busy catching small fish. The egret was one step ahead of the big fish and caught the small fish. The big fish rushed out of the water, opened its big mouth, made a silent protest, and left a helpless look in its eyes. I have witnessed the cruelty of the jungle laws under the laws of nature, as well as the vitality that biodiversity brings to the earth. Let us work together to protect the environment, maintain biodiversity, and live in harmony.
