Landscape Photography Art : A stage for dialogue between two civilizations

Landscape photography is an art that takes landscape as its object of expression, decorating the landscape with a new dimension. Landscape photographers observe and capture the scenery with their eyes behind the camera while experience, discover and reproduce the beautiful scenery with their hearts, which is a process full of artistic creativity. China gains its photography techniques and art from Western pioneers, so the similarities between Chinese and Western landscape photography art are self-evident, but their differences also exist objectively. This difference originates from the differences between Chinese and western traditional cultures, thoughts, philosophies and aesthetic concepts, which are manifested in many aspects such as artistic techniques, purposes and emphases. Chinese landscape photography will further show the Chinese culture, Chinese spirit and Chinese value in the new era to the world in the exchange with Western landscape photography.
