Reframing this hand-printed black-and-white photograph has given it a new life.

I have always believed that the right frame, through its material and colour, can enhance and complement the story a photograph is trying to tell.

This photographic work was created in 2004 while I was a student at London College of Communication.

Looking back now, those long days spent printing photographs in the darkroom feel incredibly precious.

Black-and-white photography trains the eye to see details and develop a sensitivity to light and shadow. The right photographic paper also enhances the quality of a hand-printed photograph.

This is a texture and quality that cannot be achieved through modern photographic technology.

The clothing and accessories worn by the model were also personally designed and handcrafted by me.

 

重新給這黑白手工印製的照片裝框，給予新的生命。我一直認為對的框，材質和顏色上，會加成襯托出照片的闡述的故事。 這是2004年，在倫敦UAL-LCC當學生時，攝影創作作品。

那段長時間在暗房洗照片的日子，現回顧起來很珍貴。 黑白照片是在訓練視覺的細節及對光影的敏銳度。 對的好紙質也加成手工洗出來的品質。

這是現代科技攝影技術媒介下做不出來的質感。 

模特兒身上的衣服和配件，也是自己手工設計製作。
