American contemporary artist and photographer。 The use of light and shadow in his works has inspired young photographers like me. The sense of distance in the photo is very difficult to imitate. This sense of distance makes us feel that the subject in the photo is so similar to us but the distance between us is truly far away. The portrait of the person with his back to the camera arouses my curiosity, and I want to explore the identity of this person. I have also used this method in my own works.

Ziqian Liu：idealism in mirror

图片
  Liu Ziqian is a self-portrait photographer in Shanghai. There are two main themes in her work. The first is about the symbiosis between man and nature. To a certain extent, it can be said that human beings are equal to other parts of nature. We live in the same world, breathe the same air, and tolerate each other.
