Night Photography nominee

As a night photography addict and light painting junkie, exploration in derelict places is one of the main topics in my photographs.I'm fascinated by the relationship with our human-made environment.Those abandoned monuments, houses, factories, castles and sewers,empty and eerily quiet at night in darkness. But the existence of them actually speak for themselves, waiting for us to discover and listen their stories - no matter sad, absurd, heart-broken or beautiful, these are all ripe for us to reap.
Simply documenting those buildings' stories is the not the only thing I want to achieve. By controlling the light and time via light painting photography, I want to re-create them and build the "connection" between the observer and the observed.
They are transformed on my pictures and generate the "unique" stories only belongs to me.
Create surreality in reality is a fascinated and unspeakable game to play, and it always motives me to keep going on the exploration.
