Some pics from the Venice Carnevale…I used AI to generate mock movie posters for them…

Some of my works from the past week at the Venice Carnevale…

晚清時代的京劇 Peking Opera of the late Qing Dynasty

Peking Opera of the late Qing period…

My dream photo project…

Took me months to plan this…
Took Master Tang years to collect and repair the antique costumes…, and spending huge amounts of money buying useable antique clothings and accessories for this purpose.
The costumes are then reassembled using old drawings and paintings from the same era.
Not an easy feat because fabric degenerates over time and many artefacts were lost during the wars and the cultural revolution. Sourcing for exactly the same marching historical pieces to recreate the same look is a very tedious and expansive task.
And then we need a makeup artiste who can recreate the Qing Dynasty style of face painting…
The model is a real Peking opera actress picked especially to match the look.

Just a very sincere photo project by a bunch of people doing what we love…
China is indeed amazing…
