Features: Outstanding women appear from different dimensions in the landscape of photography, challenging the traditional concept dominated by male identity characteristics and producing a unique charm that transcends males. Today, a new generation of women has taken this exploration further. Their walking postures are also more diverse. The magazine "American Photography" has called this trend a new "girl consciousness" and used a series of words to describe these young female photographers: decisive, attractive, fearless, yet also sweet. Young women no longer get entangled in the world of flowers and grass, full of tender emotions, "green fat and red thin." In contemporary society, they boldly experience all sensitive topics through the lens or even their own bodies: about violence, about sex, about the subversion of life and death. However, their inner selves are exceptionally fragile, just like many others, their inner world can be destroyed at any moment due to unexpected triggers—as this is also reflected through their lenses. Therefore, reading their images and understanding their lives is also about reading ourselves.
