Why photography ?
I love art and painting, I'm good at coloring but not good at drawing so the camera help me to draw a subject for me and let me use lighting to painting the picture.
Your inspiration ?
I have appreciated the histories and the story of legend.
One day, I traveled to Mongolia and had the opportunity to live with them.
They are vagabond aborigines. I felt impressive in their cultures, personalities, an uniforms.
I felt those things are very appealing. I appreciate those things very much.
Like the geographies, the histories and the legends.
Until, I saw those pictures appear in my real life. It more than reading books or watching in the documentary.
What is unique in your photographs ?
I do both of Landscape and Portrait photography so I combine the technique together. In my portrait photo would be capture and present landscape and atmosphere and persective presentation that make my photo look like painting. I always have final image before shoot, do research a lot before go to shoot.
