Project 1

Landscape photography is my interests of taking photos. I really enjoy travel with my camera and capture every scene that attracts me. Another major concentration of my photos is street photography. The photos for project 1 best represent my photography style.

The first photo was taken on highway. I saw the mountain on my way to Lhasa and then fascinated by the scene which includes the mountain and the prairie. Nest photo is the famous Potala palace. The interesting thing is that I was having dinner before I took this photo. During the dinner I just looped up the curtain randomly and saw the scene in this photo. Actually these two photos are in a series that I took in Tibet last summer. Most of the photo s in this series are landscapes, which perfectly expresses the natural environment of Tibet. However, I also took many photos that concentrate on the life style of people in Tibet. Last two photos of the project 1 can exemplify the local population. Moreover, these photos can determine that religion, the Tibetan Buddhism, is the most important part in local people’s life.

For me, the fascinating part of photography is because it can help us capture memorable moment in our life, and that is why I will keep taking photos.

At this time I don’t have a favorite photographer. However, great photography can always inspires me and help me enhance my skill. For example, photos below were taken by my friend. The magic is that his photos always make me want to know how to take and edit photos as what he did. Although I know good photography requires professional camera and sufficient lens, I admire more about how my friend composes the scene and edits the photo.
