我用35mm相机拍摄城市，35mm镜头没有广角镜头那样夸张的透视角度，无法形成超强的视觉冲击力，也没有50mm镜头那样的空气压缩感。但是，35mm镜头是介于这两种视角当中的一种相当平实的视角，它更接近人的眼睛所看见的场景，更能给人一种身临其境的感觉。因此，在我看来，用35mm相机拍摄是将平常所见所感变成静态图像的最好方式。

2018~2019这两年时间里，我用自己的镜头拍摄穿梭于北京、成都、京都、大阪等城市街头的行人。照片记录了在不同尺度空间下，人身处其中的状态，他们与周边环境的关系，以及环境如何影响人的情绪。还有那些街头中的“静物”，它们可能是一盏路灯，一处涂鸦，一扇破铁门。这些极其平凡的事物，我称之为“城市风景”，它们是城市的微表情和符号，也是城市复杂和多元化的外在体现。所有的这些图景共同组成了一幅城市图景，从侧面展现了我们身边的环境。

35mm lens does not have the exaggerated perspective angle of wide-angle lens, forming a super strong visual impact. And it doesn’t have the air compression of a 50mm lens. On the contrary, the 35mm lens is a fairly flat perspective between these two perspectives, which is closer to the scene seen by human eyes. It gives a sense of being in the moment. Therefore, in my opinion, taking pictures with a 35mm camera is the best way to turn what you usually see into a still image.

In the last two years from 2018 to 2019, I used the ordinary perspective view to shoot the pedestrians in the city spaces. The photos record the state of people in different scale space, their relationship with the surrounding environment, and how the environment in turn affects people’s emotions. There are also some “still things”in the street. They may be a street lamp, a graffiti, a broken iron door. These extremely ordinary images, which I call “urban landscape”, are the micro expressions and symbols of the city, as well as the external embodiment of the complexity and diversity of the city. All of these images make up a city landscape, which gives us an angle to observe the environment we live from the side.
