LEYAO LIU;Machi Love;Two people having a sweet time at a milk tea shop. They sit close together and look at each other with shy smiles as they wait for their drinks. The shop’s name and slogan, “Machi” and “I love you so machi”, add a touch of humor and charm to the scene. This photo captures the essence of love: subtle hints and hopeful hearts.
LEYAO LIU;Curious Child;A four year old girl holding her mother’s hand and touching a shop window’s glass. She looks at the display with wonder and curiosity. This photo captures the essence of childhood: exploring the world and learning new things.
LEYAO LIU;Snack Time on Wheels;A candid shot of a woman enjoying some snacks while riding a bicycle in the busy streets of the CBD. The photo captures the contrast between her relaxed attitude and the hectic urban environment around her.
LEYAO LIU;Kids Just Wanna Have Fun;A charming photo of a bunch of kids on a small scream machine at the Hamilton hot balloon event. The photo shows their different reactions to the ride, from happy to calm to serious to screaming, as they have fun in their own ways.
Weitong Li;Tiny Rock Stars;I accidentally captured this photo. The kindergartener, wearing an ACDC band top, moves like the lead singer, and the child behind him happens to be posing to play the guitar. Two tiny rock stars shows themselves in front of the camera.
Paris Munro;Trapped Dispositions;This work is apart of a series which portrays nascent womanhood and the confusion when coming of age.
