I placed the dried leaves on the lighting backboard, and changed to a low ISO. I also cropped the photos so that the details can be emphasized. By using these materials, the textures on the leaves can be presented clearly. Every leaf is different, which makes each photo different in some ways.

For this set of photos, I focused on taking close-up pictures of elder people on the street. I let them perform their normal life and capture the daily lives of Beijing citizens. The ISO was high since it was bright outside, and and put the focus on people’s faces to show the details of their facial expressions and their facial textures.

I played around with shutter speed to create residual shadow of the people’s moving hands. These photos portrays an artistic activity, through focusing on the details of Mandela and its creating process, it can illustrates Mandela’s cultural background and meticulous art history.
