Ziyi Le, New Comer

The Chinese photographer (born 1993) started his project using Weibo, a Twitter-like portal for short messages in China, where he found people interested in his sensitive portrait series. He finds that staged photo shoots represent a reflection of his own self-doubt, as well as the feeling of alienation and growing emptiness. The outcome is a touching portrait of the “New Comer”, a generation in search of personal development and their place in society.
