Photography and painting has always been clearly seperated due to it's distinct differences and methods. However, one artist set out to blur that distinction through his photographic creations and skilled use of negatives. He signs each piece with calligraphy and a Chinese chop reminiscient of how Chinese paintings are signed. This is the work of a photographer known as Don Hong-Oai. I was introduced to this artist from a dear friend of mine from Russia that I met while studying together at Tsinghua University.

Here follows her introduction of Don Hong-Oai:

I’m sending you the pictures of Don Hong-Oai – a Chinese (Cantonese) photographer, who started learning the basics of photography at a Saigon portrait studio as a seven-year-old child.

Here follows a preview of some of his works:
