I am Fang, a photographer with nearly 15 years of experience in the field. I graduated from the
prestigious Marangoni Institute in Milan, specializing in fashion photography. During my time in
Europe, I worked as the creative director and photographer for F-y Fashion Studio, which gave me
the opportunity to collaborate with various renowned magazines and fashion brands, showcasing
my creativity and professional skills.
This exhibition, The Intersection of Culture and Creative Extraction in Photography*, reflects the
themes I have been contemplating for many years. As society develops, each region forms its
own unique culture, be it in religion, music, cuisine, or art-cultural symbols are everywhere. In
today's world, the internet has made culture borderless, with ideas blending and colliding on a
global scale, giving rise to new, diverse cultural forms. These cultural elements permeate our
daily lives, often unnoticed.
My goal with this exhibition is to explore how we can identity key elements within this cultural
fusion and transform them into creative inspiration. Photography, like a painter's brush, is both a
tool for recording and creating. While technological advancements have made photography
accessible to everyone, the real challenge lies in standing out from the crowd and using
photography to creatively express cultural symbols. Through this exhibition, I aim to show how
subtle cultural symbols in everyday life can be creatively transformed using light, composition,
and color, turning them into a unique visual language.
This exhibition is not just a showcase of techniques but a collision of ideas. I hope it serves as a
starting point for both viewers and creators, encouraging them to explore the endless possibilities
that culture holds through photography. Rather than being an endpoint, this exhibition is a new
beginning-one that inspires participants to apply cultural elements to their future creations,
producing works that are even more profound and thought-provoking.
