Honorable Mention / 2023 / Portraiture / Self-Portrait

LIGHT WITHIN SHADOW

Similar to the photography journey, my travel in Japan and the Philippines allowed me to be embraced by highlight and shadow.

A true reflection on a big glass wall surface combined with the inner image really created an interesting meaning for me.

Walking against the strong chilly wind on a lava beach during sunrise was a remarkable experience.

Enjoying the tranquil scenery at a lake-side resort hotel in Mindanao Island, vastly and deeply devastated by a super typhoon causing two months of blackout and a dark Christmas in the Year 2021, was another contradicting experience.
