Documentary: A Half-Risen Prostrating Black Silhouette in Plateau Sunset

Three travelers in crimson robes lean thirty degrees into the wind, the middle one pushing a cart of luggage as footprints vanish under snow and there is no horizon. One of the set's extreme cases of keeping the figures as small as possible in the frame. Image 5 of Zhao Yifan's Documentary set.

A wide frame with the figure filling only the left fifth, firelight from off-screen right tracing a gold rim on her silver ornaments while everything else stays black. A study in negative space and rim-light silhouettes. Image 9 of the Yi Torch Festival set by Zhao Yifan.

A god's-eye view of thousands of torches winding into a river of fire along a black ridge, with darkness covering seventy percent of the frame and an old man shielding a flame and a child looking up in the foreground. Tucks micro stories into a macro scene. Image 11 of Zhao Yifan's set.
