Artworks / Travelers among Hills in Midsummer

In my experience in photography practice, contemporary photography is fundamentally related to traditional skills, computer technology and notions of painting, which communicate new ways of seeing and thinking. The project focuses on my creative methodologies of scenery in Eastern and Western paintings, associated with my previous Chinese ink painting; it presents the ideas between realism and surrealism. My practice of photography deals with multiple-perspective compositions of landscape and people that raise a number of surreal issues as well as dramatic boundaries in the theatrical space. I combine the visual styles of narrative and non-narrative that straddle the modernity of painting and photography, into a body of work using sharpness of captured image, digital manipulation and cinematography. The thought is extended to the large-scale virtual scenery, which involves cinematic structure – a visual interaction between dream (psychological space) and reality (physical dimension). The photographic image is produced on the digital ink-jet print, thereby allowing the viewer to perceive it as pictorial photograph.
