Borderless was a portrait photography exhibition running in October 2022 centred on the blurring and blending of different styles of photography and perspectives from the studio to the neon lights of Hong Kong's streets.

​

Borderless challenges the standard presentation of photographs

Borderless showcases multiple images to create movement and drama - the same image in different orientations, different images from the same shoot as a sequence, images from radically different shoots juxtaposed as a sequence.  Complementing colours and contrasting subject matter create playful transitions from street to the studio in the same art piece.  The artwork also toys with the processes of photography: the thought behind constructing a series of photographs that tell a story, the selection and editing of images from a shoot, how the same image can have different impacts depending on its scale and orientation and how images can be imagined as a double exposure (overlayed on top of each other).

 

Underpinning the exhibition is my focus on creating a feeling of movement and of harmony in contrasts, especially in the strength and fragility of faces, bodies and movements.

​

Tatler Asia says: "This photography exhibition captures the sensual fluidity of strong human bodies."
