Lai Shiu-fong 黎兆芳

Black & White 黑與白

1950–1960s

Two walls of contrasting colours divide this composition neatly in half. As the tall flower stem cuts across the central axis, it draws our attention to its natural curves. The dark-toned flowers on the right and the white flowers on the left stand out crisply against their respective light and dark backgrounds. With an emphasis on eye-catching tonality, composition, and sharp lines, this photograph is portrayed in a manner that resembles a painting.
