Although it was pouring rain in Shenzhen, the rainstorm did not affect everyone's enthusiasm for photography! The second season of "David Afternoon Tea" ended successfully on April 12 at 5A1 Art Space. The event attracted many photography enthusiasts to participate. In the relaxed atmosphere, everyone spoke freely and shared their shooting experiences and insights, which not only enhanced mutual understanding, but also create new inspiration.

After the author's explanation, other students actively shared their first impressions of the work and put forward their own opinions and suggestions.
Professor David Lai, who has more than 30 years of experience in the photography industry, guided the students to think deeply through a series of inspiring questions:
-Why shoot in black and white? What kind of subject matter is suitable for black and white photography?
-When shooting, should I set it to color or black and white?
-What is the appropriate post-processing of black and white photography?
-If the work is developed into an art project, what elements need to be added?
-Does the first impression of others on the work express your inner emotions?
-What did you learn from this set of photos? What did you notice? What inspiration does it have for future photography?

Prof. Lai's answers not only helped the students to more clearly understand the strengths and weaknesses of their works, but also provided practical suggestions for improvement and creative directions. The road of photography is wonderful because of communication and progress because of learning. Let us look forward to the next season of "David Afternoon Tea" together.
In this event, Prof. Lai specifically mentioned how to solve the problem of creative extended thinking in shooting? This coincides with the theme of the Zhuhai Station of the Greater Bay Area Nine Cities Shooting Plan, which will be launched from April 18 to April 20, "Photographic Language - Shape, Contour and Texture". This Zhuhai Station study will answer this question in detail, which is undoubtedly a great help to some friends who encounter shooting bottlenecks! I also believe that this Zhuhai Station practice will definitely make you take a big step forward on the road of photography!
