The title of this project is “No One Watching”. The concept I want to convey and emphasize in my photograph is the movement and the natural expressions of elderly people in the Houtongs. When taking the photos, I will try to get really close to the figure to capture their subconscious eye contact with the camera. The photos I will capture will also have a strong sense of dynamic movement, for example, walking, jumping, or even just playing poker on a table in the park. These are all actions that, when captured as a still image, can still be understood by the audience, making them feel the beauty of rhythm and chaos. Also, I want my audience to feel a sense of tension by capturing prohibited behaviour in that area. For example, like smoking and swimming. I will use high contrast, black & white, and irony in my photos to achieve this.  I found inspiration for how to create these effects in a photographer named Daido Moriyama.
