Minimalist Elegance: How a London Chinese Photographer Captures Dao-Inspired Fashion in Bare Skin and Silk
alternative photography
Nakakapagod na ‘minimalist elegance’ sa Brick Lane?! Ako’y di nakikita ng mga model — nagsisilbi ako ng stillness. Ang silk? Hindi pambili… naghihintay lang sa pagtuloy ng hangin! Ang mga kahoy na may incense? Di lang dekorasyon… meditation na ‘sinasalamin’ ang tahanan! Kaya nga nangunguna: ‘Ang beauty ay hindi nakikita… kundi naiisip.’ Mga kaibigan… kayo pa ba’y nakikita ‘yan sa Instagram? Comment section: ‘Sino ang nag-aalala sa paghinga ng silk?’
So you’re telling me the most powerful fashion is… not wearing anything? 🤔
I thought Vogue UK was selling ‘cold elegance’—turns out it’s just someone breathing instead of shouting.
My grandma said: ‘The best photo is the one you don’t notice.’
I shot this on Brick Lane at dusk while my mom danced in Shanghai and my dad taught me calculus.
No logos. No filters. Just silk clinging to skin like ink on rice paper.
You won’t find this on Instagram. But if you stand still enough… you’ll see it.
…or are we all just overthinking our existence? Comment section: who’s crying now? 😭
You won’t find this on Instagram… but if you stand still enough? You’ll see it exhale.
This isn’t fashion—it’s meditation wrapped in silk.
The model? Nah. The pose? Just silence.
My grandpa said: ‘The most powerful image is the one you don’t notice.’
So I shoot stillness.
