Jiehao Su

            Chinese photographer Jiehao Su knows how to place his subjects in his photographs. Their surroundings are free of distracting extras and nicely frame the subjects. For example the man photographed in the water is surrounded only by his ripples. Another photo shows a girl with flowers around her head. These flowers add an element of cute. The photographs are also soft with medium saturation of color. Most of the subjects are not facing the camera while others are very aware of the photographer. The faces that are facing away make the viewer more curious about what else is out of the photo frame. The faces that are facing forward are more observed as a study of a face and not what the subject is doing because they are posed very still.
