Concept/Story:
The concept I want to tell with my photographs is the vibrant, chaotic, and intimate moments that occur in street food settings. I aim to capture the energy of vendors and customers, highlighting the stories behind each dish and the connections made through food. Each image will tell a story of community, culture, and the simple joy of eating together in the HuTongs of Beijing.

Audience Feelings:
I want my audience to feel a sense of nostalgia and maybe even hunger. I hope to evoke emotions of warmth, excitement, and curiosity, inviting viewers to reflect on their own street food experiences and the communal spirit that food brings.

Inspiration and Development of Ideas:
I will get inspiration and develop my ideas by looking for photographs that emphasize candid moments and spontaneous interactions, similar to Garry Winogrand’s style. I will explore images that utilize dynamic compositions and play with light and shadow to create depth. Additionally, I will seek out photographs that highlight the contrast between the bustling activity of street vendors and the intimate moments of patrons enjoying their meals, showcasing the interplay of movement and stillness.
