sinethetamagazine: In Bloom by Leslie Zhang (张家诚). Photography. 2017. Shanghai-based photographer Leslie Zhang started in image making years ago. Inspired by his early experience in Chinese traditional painting, his work is known for its colors and compositions that hint at Chinese longstanding traditions and the atmospheric documentary portraiture. Creating a body of work which spans fashion, stylised documentary and portraiture photography, Leslie’s work is drenched in saturated colour and whips up an emotive atmosphere of nostalgia. In Bloom is a project that captures the lingering spirit from the past as if coming from a narrator for whom the chivalrous and romantic Shanghai in the 30s and the refreshing youth culture blooming in the 80s overlap in the wistful longing to return to depart from the present.
