Here it is, folks. A new photo-book from me to you. This one is the product of jet-lag-induced sleepless nights.
Be that as it may, I am quite content that I have planned for this book even before I left for Shanghai two weeks ago and that is reflected in my choice of cameras to take with me on the trip.
One of which is the Olympus E-P2. All the photos in this book is taken with this camera, either using the kit lens or the Panasonic 20mm 1:1.7. This to me proofs that you do not need a big black camera to do some photography work these days.
So, what’s this book about?
I’d like to think of it as a traveler’s view of how life unfold in modern Shanghai. Given her rich heritage historically and culturally, Shanghai is probably one of the more unique cities in the world to visit. And I’d like to capture the living-breathing rhythm of the city.
That’s why I choose black and white photographs, not because Shanghai is not full of splendid colors, but because we can break down B&W photos easier, taking in the essence of what the photographer is trying to convey.
In this 74 pages book, I am giving you as readers, my interpretation of what I saw at street level. And if you like B&W photograph and/or street photography in general, I think you’ll share this interpretation
Now that you’ve read this far, this is a link to the preview of what’s in the book. Have a look and drop me a line on what you think of it. Of course, I wouldn’t complain if you buy a copy also :)
