Features: Contemporary outstanding documentary photography, the real lives of ordinary Chinese people, the expression and inner world of an era. Our lack of interest lies not in focusing on suffering and ugliness; we capture these things to drive them out of our minds. Documentary photography is a form of images taken by photographers who have long been concerned with a subject and have conducted in-depth interviews. It carries sociological and historical significance. Compared to news photography, documentary photography does not emphasize timeliness and news value; its impact is long-lasting. The purpose of documentary photography is not just to tell a story, but also to reveal the rich background of that story, focusing more on the inner spirit of the subject.
