I’m Vicky from Taiwan. It’s been two years since I bumped into the street photography, a world I felt truly fascinating. I was before a high school teacher but considered finding a lifelong interest an important mission. I dare to say, “It’s street photography.”
Over these years, I have learned to wait and discover the sparkles in every city. I could be a participant but also a bystander, vanishing in the crowd just for that transient moment. Beside authentically showing the links between people, objects, and the environment, the most intriguing aspect is that every photographer presents the same scene differently due to diverse angles. I love this kind of diversity, vitality and imagination, essences only street can provide.

About The Collection

In the collection selected, I mixed lights, shadows, colors, and geometrical shapes. Construct and Deconstruct. If photos are canvas, then street and people are pigments. Most pictures were taken in Taipei, a playground where I should always prepare for the surprises with my shutter. Enjoy!

I come from Taipei, Taiwan, where I takes most of my photos. I had my first camera in 2009 and had been self-teaching for several years before I finally signed up a photography course around 2015. After learning different genres of photography, I am keen on macro and street photography. I enjoy taking photos and observing the world through the camera. With macro lens, I take a close-up look into the micro world of the nature. However, on the streets, I prefer keeping a polite distance from the subjects, with no intrusion into their life. Usually, I would look for a beautiful corner on the street and wait for an individual person melting into the scene. Sometimes, when attracted by a subject, I would, on the other hand, find a proper background to frame the subject. Street photography for me is more related to the concept of perspective and aesthetics than to a documentary record of life.

About The Collection

The collection is selected from what I have taken for the past two years. Most of them are accomplished by the playing of light and shadow. Besides, the use of frames and negative space is one of my favorite approaches. What I try to achieve is to isolate a pleasing scene from the bustling streets of the city.
