China 2025

Aesthetic Cycle

Aesthetic Cycle

A spur of the moment shot cos I saw these bikes with great lighting. Also, cycling around the streets of GZ is no joke we did it at night and the bell means nothing honestly, still so fun though

An Alley in China

An Alley in China

Love the small stand in this alley, there's something so simple but busy about this scene that I wanted to capture, idk what drew me to it but it just looked so cool to take a photo of. Some things are just like that I guess - in the moment shots

Colourful Guangzhou

Colourful Guangzhou

Some colourful features on a street in Guangzhou, love how much each colour pops out

Da Fo Temple

Da Fo Temple

Love the detailing on this temple in GZ, and it was right in the middle of a busy modern street as well. It looks so majestic with the red and gold colours

Glow-fi Stream

Glow-fi Stream

Get it? Cos it's glowing... and it's a stream... and it's got a chill aesthetic... like lo-fi... Anyways, I absolutely love how much contrast there is in this photo. And everything just seems sort of perfect you know? Like the reflection, the glow, the half-shadowed umbrella, the white mist(?) between the bridge and the reflection... I think this is definitely up there in my top 10 shots of the year.

Hocus Focus

Hocus Focus

With this photo, my initial aim was to manually focus on the boatman, but I kept ending up with the tree and flowers in focus. I quite like how it turned out though, a "happy little accident" (thanks Bob Ross).

Lights All Around

Lights All Around

I love how the blues and reds stand out so clearly and it just captures this lady in the moment. I think that's what drives me to take photos - it's ones like this where I can just capture the moment and it reminds me of the word "sonder"

Red Lattice Lego

Red Lattice Lego

This temple in Guangzhou was surrounded by modern buildings, but I love how much the colours still popped out on this super sunny day. Unreal architecture. Chamber of Reflection - Mac DeMarco, that's all I'm saying.

River Reflections by Day

River Reflections by Day

People were waiting in line to take a picture on this bridge, and I can see why. The river reflection looks like a painting, and I love how the different trees and plants help to frame the bridge and the lady in the centre, while still creating a sense of depth. Pretty neat.

Vintage Neon Vibe

Vintage Neon Vibe

Love the contrast between the modern neon sign against the old buildings. I remember seeing this as we were exploring and it caught my eye straightaway.

Wittewy Me

This statue was literally copying the way I took this photo, no joke. Fun lil pic in this collection lol
