Bali Through the Lens: A Study of Beauty and Aesthetics in Kitty Zhao's Swimwear Photography

Bali Through the Lens? More Like Bali Through My Therapy Journal

Kitty Zhao’s 2016 Bali shoot isn’t just a photo series—it’s a full-blown existential crisis wrapped in golden-hour lighting.

Let’s be real: when you see someone nailing both classical pin-up poses and ukiyo-e head tilts without breaking a sweat? That’s not talent—that’s witchcraft.

And the technical control? Her use of negative space is so strong it could’ve been used to build a meditation retreat.

Honestly, I’d pay extra to rent this collection—like Netflix but with more emotional depth and zero subscription fees.

Photographer’s note: If you’re not using medium format by now… are you even trying?

這張照片讓我哭了……不是因為美，是因為她穿著泳裝在打坐。\n\n誰說Bali的黃昏光線只能用來拍泳裝？明明是禪修時才敢開鏡頭啊！\n\nKitty Zhao把東方留白和西方金光混在一起，還順便把‘性’打成‘負空間’——你以為她在晒太陽？不，她在晒靈魂。\n\n我猜她睡前日記寫的是：‘今天沒人懂我為什麼笑中帶淚’……你們咋看？評論區開戰啦！
