Digital Photography: Overview

.

.

Series 1: Mirrorscapes


“I am seeking the uncommon in the most common
of surfaces, such as stainless steel, which allows 
dust to accumulate into weathered landscapes — 
ready-made images I enjoy exploring as visceral 
metaphors for human nature and resilience.” 

Series 2: Treescapes


“Trees weather all kinds of storms and
visibly bear their seasonal endurances —
they grow among us as living metaphors,
inspiring us along the path of life’s journey.”

Series 3: Windowscapes


“Glass windows, and transparent partitions of
all kinds, serve as both openings and closures
for allowing light in and keeping water out —
their alluring glow invites musings on the inner
and outer nature of human perception.”

Series 4: Ledgescapes


“Concrete ledges provide sturdy architectural
support for rooftop railings and open-air enclos-
ures — they also serve as handy benches for 
breezy conversations, and stories with a birds-eye view’ of life”.

Series 5: Wallscapes


“I am fascinated by finding art in the most
unlikely of surfaces, such as “hutong” walls, 
which bear layers of grey paint used to cover
the visual blight of unwanted advertising — 
ready-made textures that I enjoy exploring 
as visceral metaphors for human nature
and resilience.”

Series 5: Skyscapes  


“I view the sky as a vast sea of changing colors
with serene landscapes for meditation, and dramatic panoramas for inspiring the imagination. As in life, the sky is in perpetual motion — an ever present cinema for all seasons and journeys.”

Series 3: Lifescapes

These photographs are my visual diary of 
experiences from daily life and travels. They 
are often quiet observations, inviting the viewer
to pause and reflect on the simple beauty of 
everyday scenes and their potential narratives.”

Series 6: Naturescapes

“These images of nature, whether from my
own patio or from around the world, highlight
the intimate relationship we all have with nature,
and the beauty of its changing seasons. For me,
these images inspire contemplation and gratitude
for what we often overlook.”
