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.
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.
I captured another image of spectacular cloud formation on 31 Dec 2020 at the Lower Seletar Reservoir. I was fortunate to encounter such an amazing landscape first thing in the morning. My perception of vibrant colours and strong pattern of the sky orientated me to capture the image with a great visual impact. The warmest colour of the rising sun in contrast with the blue and white pattern of the sky was hard to come by. Perhaps was another lucky day for me to close the year of 2020 with success and ready to welcome 2021!
