Fishing at the Jetty

Lip Seng


Share with you an image that I captured during my visit to the Barrack Square, Perth in November 2003… The sign at the jetty clearly states that no fishing is allowed. These youngsters were either ignorant or too anxious to catch fishes and forgot all about their safety. Luckily, they were there for only a short while. This is an exception to the “no-overhead-lighting”; the lighting provides good relief to the subject.

I was one of the lucky seventy photographers invited by the Mayor of Beijing in 2000 to participate in the “World Photographers Focusing On Beijing” (a project for China’s 2008 Olympic application). One of the events that we covered during our stay in Beijing was that of Beijing Opera. This was one of the favourite images that I captured during the make-up session backstage. I was able to capture handheld, the mirror image of the well-lit performer with ambient light.
