#58 Gordon Szeto- Pandemic Days and Nights
“I like to see myself as a storyteller. Photography happens to be the way I tell stories. I see the world in a certain way and try to create visual images to take viewers on a journey.
I gravitate towards emotional, ethereal and dream-like imagery and I use cameras like pinholes and lenses like the Aero Ektar 178mm as tools to create the look and feel I strive for”.
