Inspired photographer, Don Hong Oai
He practised an unique style of photography known as asian pictorialism. His photos resemble Chinese Paintings.
Learnt from his master, Long Chi San. (experiment with ways to translate impressionistic style of art into photography. He came up with a methos of layering negatives to correspond with the three of distance and passed this techniques to Don.)
Don added calligraphy and his seal to the imaage.
He died in 2004, at the age of 75.
I was totally inspired by the way he combined Chinese traditional art with Western influence. The photos are very emotional, surreal and impactful.
