Timeless Elegance, Modern Flair: Where Tradition Meets Modernity

古韻新風:傳統與現代的交織
在旗袍攝影中,我不僅是在拍攝一件服飾,而是詮釋一段歷史和一種風格。所謂的「古韻新風」就是這樣的概念:傳統和現代的交織,讓旗袍既能展現傳統的優雅,也能展現當代的時尚。這不僅僅是「保留舊有」,而是一種打破和重塑的過程 — 在保留旗袍傳統美感的同時,也加入現代的創意和風格,使旗袍成為既古典又摩登的藝術品。

在這次拍攝中,我選擇了香港的經典大排檔作為背景,並搭配現代設計的旗袍,創造出有趣的視覺構圖。對於許多香港人來說,大排檔是一種集體回憶和情感聯繫,讓人既感受到傳統的溫度,也能體驗到現代的風采。

在溫哥華重現香港風情
自從搬到溫哥華後,我發現這裡也有許多適合旗袍攝影的場景。無論是都市的街頭巷尾,還是寧靜的自然景觀,都能成為展示旗袍魅力的理想背景。我希望能夠把一些香港的風情帶到溫哥華的旗袍攝影中,這不僅是因為香港是我的出生地,更是因為那裡的文化塑造了我的風格與視角。對我來說,每一個旗袍攝影作品都是傳統與現代的一次對話,讓過去的美與現在的潮流交織在一起。

如果你也喜歡這種打破傳統與現代界限的風格,告訴我你的想法。我會根據你的喜好,為你打造一個獨特的旗袍攝影體驗,創造忠於您的專屬魅力。

In cheongsam photography, I’m not just capturing a garment; I’m interpreting a rich history and style. “Timeless elegance, modern flair” embodies this concept — where tradition and modernity intertwine, allowing the cheongsam to showcase both classic grace and contemporary fashion. It’s not merely about “preserving the old”; it’s a process of breaking boundaries and reimagining them. By honoring the cheongsam’s traditional beauty while adding modern creativity, this timeless attire becomes an art form that is both classic and modern.

For this shoot, I chose Hong Kong’s iconic Dai Pai Dong (food stalls) as the backdrop, pairing it with a contemporary Hong Kong-style cheongsam. This unique visual composition highlights the contrast between heritage and modernity. For many Hong Kongers, the Dai Pai Dong is a collective memory and emotional bond, evoking the warmth of tradition while presenting a touch of modern elegance.

Bringing the Essence of Hong Kong to Cheongsam Photography in Vancouver
Since moving to Vancouver, I’ve discovered countless locations that are perfect for cheongsam photography. Whether in urban corners or tranquil natural landscapes, each can serve as an ideal backdrop for showcasing the charm of the cheongsam. I hope to bring a taste of Hong Kong’s essence into cheongsam photoshoots here—not only because Hong Kong is my birthplace but because its culture has profoundly influenced my style and perspective. For me, each cheongsam photoshoot is a dialogue between tradition and modernity, weaving the beauty of the past with today’s trends.
