TITLE: Shanghai Oriental Sports Center

The Shanghai Oriental Sports Center stands as one of the world's largest sports complexes primarily dedicated to swimming and diving. Guided by the principles of 'green, environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and human-centric' in its architectural design, it aims to create a creatively distinctive sports venue. The architectural forms here predominantly consist of various arch arrangements, with the surfaces of the arches covered in white aluminum panels. The facades between the arches are glazed, giving the overall structure the appearance of progressively layered waves. This dynamic and sleek architectural design emphasizes its vibrancy and modernity.
Shot in Shanghai China in August 2023. These photos were taken during the day, but in order to better highlight the features of these buildings, I did a lot of post-processing in Photoshop to make them look like night shots, including changing the background, adjusting the light, motion blur, adding or removing elements, and so on.

AUTHOR: Zhenhuan Zhou (Canada)

As a photographer, I'm based in Toronto Canada.
My connection to the camera began from a very young age. There were days when I would capture the world around my tirelessly, but adulthood and professional responsibilities meant my passion took a backseat.
However, 2013 marked a significant year for me. Upon relocating to Canada, I rediscovered the world of photography, albeit initially during family trips. It wasn’t until 2019 that I embarked on a more structured journey into the realm of photography, diving deeply into post-processing techniques.
The COVID-19 pandemic, despite its many challenges, presented me with a silver lining. The ample time at my disposal allowed for rigorous study and practice. Over these years, I fine-tuned my skills and honed my craft.
Such dedication and perseverance bore fruit, and I found recognition in several renowned international photography contests. My work has been acclaimed in a plethora of categories, spanning from motion to monochrome, and has clinched top spots in numerous contests.
