Wong Kar-wai-Style: A Still Figure Looking Up in a Rainstorm at Night

Sunset through a window hits a bare wall with fire-like intensity, a framed picture catches the last of the light, and long shadows stretch across a wooden floor. Cites Ashes of Time and pushes extreme warm tones close to overexposure to capture something fading. Image 7 of Zhao Yifan's Wong Kar-wai-Style set.

A crowd rushes through a neon Tokyo street while one person at the center stays perfectly still, long exposure dragging people and car lights into streaks. References the energy of Chungking Express and uses long exposure plus step-printing to capture stillness in a busy place. Image 3 of Zhao Yifan's set.

A hand reaches across a small wooden table toward an amber glass of whiskey, dusk light striping through dusty blinds, with an old radio blurred in the background. Takes its color grade from 2046 and uses one drink and one beam of light for nostalgia and indulgence. Image 4 of Zhao Yifan's set.
