Poolguys,
Photography, 8" x 10", 2023
Poolguys - as a representation about China's local conditions and the process of finding my beginnings in photography. In principle, swimming is prohibited because it is a scenic spot, but there are a lot of elderly people who come here every week. What inspires me is that I've always wanted to document what's going on around me through documentary photography, but I'm currently focusing on fashion photography and haven't been out on the streets for a long time; this is the only time I've done it recently. I wanted to capture and express photography as it was meant to be, raw, authentic and unique. Including every element in the image is authentic and irreplaceable, it's the kind of photo that Midjourney or AI will never be able to replicate.
