Imitating classic pictures, I hoped to salute to photography masters. I chose five pictures and made the backdrops in an effort to capture meaning of photographing.

Experimental and Conceptual Images

Featuring strong experimental and conceptual characteristics, these works raise interesting questions: What is the relation between historical pictures and the locations of the events? If photographers took many pictures of the scene from various angels, why is only one presented to the public? In terms of these questions, I think this series of pictures addresses the great intervention of a photographers ethics and political flavoring upon the authenticity of images.
