鄭振揚捕捉新疆天山的壯麗景色

HONG KONG PHOTOGRAPHER

Tugo Cheng spent a decade crossing the border for his series Discovering

China. Cheng, who has a background in architecture, says he focuses on capturing unusual shapes, patterns and textures, often resulting in abstract, poetic compositions – shapes like these surreal canyons, hundreds of metres deep, carved out by a river in the Tianshan mountains of China’s northwest Xinjiang region. Shooting while the light was weak helped Cheng create the flattened look, like a painted canvas.
