Photographing Nostalgia
The message of my photographs will be to showcase China, particularly Beijing’s intense and colourful lighting and its reflections. I want my audience to connect their personal experiences to a new or unseen setting. I would like them to connect with the area and the distinct culture that this particular district has through a new perspective. One such photographer I have been inspired by is Uta Barth; I like her use of colour and composition when simple moments in time. I also like the intentional camera movement and blurry focus techniques which could be used to highlight the colours and shapes of the 798 art district. Photography is often used to capture a moment in time and should continue to connect experiences to images.
