The famous Fuzhou umbrellas were discoloured during my visit on 12 Oct 2017 at Yi Jin Fang, Fuzhoou, Fujiang, China. My application of photoshop brought back the brilliant colours of the umbrellas. The added saturated blue sky increased the visual impact for the whole image. My concept is an artistic creation of turning an ordinary image into a contemporary effect . This is my way of altering reality of an image into an extraordinary impact.
On 13 Oct 2016, I was searching a scenic location known as “Xi Tang” in Shantou, China. When I arrived at the location, I realized that the location was deserted sometimes ago. Instead, I came across a small lotus pond. I was attracted by a green lotus leaf floating among the shadow reflection of other leaves. The reflection of the blue sky further drew my attention. My individual perception of shapes and colours orientated me to capture this final image.
Light and shadow was my title of solo exhibition in 2009. One thing for sure, this is one of my principles of capturing an image with greater visual impact. Light and shadow is utmost important in achieving the aesthetic value of an image. For his image that I captured in Shantou, China on 14 Oct 2016, I fully utilised the effect of such lighting condition. I was fortunate to be on time to observe the superb lighting condition. Most importantly, the story content of students going to school in this modern city is an interesting subject.
