Fenqiang's ongoing project, ‘Secret Garden’, aims to capture the exquisite moments of Great Egrets in their natural Florida habitat, showcasing their unparalleled beauty in all its splendor. His vision for this concept arises from overwhelming excitement and a burning desire to share his experiences with others. Recognizing that the power of a live encounter surpasses any portrayal, he strives to create an equally thrilling visual experience for the viewer. Through meticulously composed images and sometimes digital enhancements, Fenqiang seeks to push the boundaries of conventional photography and inspires viewers with the beauty of nature and the magic of creativity, and transports them into a dreamy realm.
“By capturing the Great Egret in mid-flight as it gracefully launches from the tree, I aim to freeze a perfect moment in time and showcase its elegance, harmonizing with the surrounding environment. The interplay of light and shadow becomes the pivotal element, with the darkened sky creating a mysterious impression, and carefully placed light beams behind the bird during the post-process accentuate the bird's most beautiful features. Enhanced by the timeless black and white tones, the image exudes a sense of ether-realism, evoking nostalgia, and reverence for nature's boundless beauty."
