his photography works
 

1.topic:sea 

Look at those pictures. they all the sea. they look like the same, just shoot in different place. Using two rectangles puzzle together . But it looks peaceful. Make u clam down yourself.  Everything comes to zero.

2.topic:theater

This  group of pictures is about theater. All the theater using black and white color. Colors contrast of black and white outstanding the screen, to form a visual focus. But nothing happen on the screen, just white. why? I think photographer wants me to think. Thinking about the next time or last time what happen in this theater. Everything  is in my memory . it is an zen meaning.

3.other works

One shape----triangle as keen as razors. The first one uses shadow and the last one use reflection. one is black background , another is white background. But a  feeling of melancholy runs through his shoots. i don't know why. Maybe the color effect me. I think it is his style--gloomy but peaceful and serious.

4. do some research 

At last i did some research. i know this photographer lived in the survivors after two war world . 

Most of his neighbor went through two war world. When his was very young, he saw something about war. He saw the remaining ruins of two war world. He tried to think about it.
