Shanghai, China
Shanghai, China
Exploring the streets of Shanghai through my lens in the summer of 2021. As a portrait photographer, I have always been fascinated by the diverse range of people in our ever-changing city. From the morning exercise enthusiasts in the parks to the neighbors strolling through the alleys and the hardworking individuals in the old streets, each person holds a significant place in my visual memories.
Amidst the rapid urban development, I feel compelled to preserve the stories behind these aging structures. Photography becomes a fascinating tool, allowing me to extend my visual memories. In this project, I chose red backdrop paper to highlight the individuals, symbolizing auspiciousness and joy in our Chinese culture. It also represents my love for these strangers and the city they inhabit.
Why do certain people resonate with us among the diverse array of society? I believe it’s an energy attraction, a reflection of ourselves in others. I casually seek individuals with whom I share a connection, capturing authentic moments regardless of age, region, or gender. It‘s about capturing their real selves and making them visible in the moment.
You can be whoever you want to be, and love yourself for who you are.
