Award-winning Photos

“A Resting Bird” “Resting Bird” is a connection between Shenzhen and its landscape, a peaceful ethereal moment in a fast-moving city, a search for beauty among the broken.

"Keep up tradition" "Keep up tradition" was taken by Katsuhiro Kobayashi from Japan.

“Talent Park” I use a drone to take the photo. Once I found a nice building with a good background.

"Colorful Shuiwei" "Colorful Shuiwei" is intended to embody the renovation spirit of Shenzhen, an ever-changing city, where the old and the new mix in colorful and fun ways.

"Weightless" It's of my friend Tim who used to be a teacher here as well, and he also is a unicyclist. He wanted me to come and take some photos of him riding his unicycle.

“Pint size” This little one was having a stroll along the edge of the brand new V&A Museum by Fumihiko Maki.

“Nantou ancient city" I shot my image in nantou ancient Town around midday with my galaxy s10. I had planned to take my phone out shooting to see what it could achieve, and to do so I wanted to focus on taking photos of locals in their daily lives.
