“Impressions of The Dai Nationality”

In an accidental chat with foreign friends, we discussed about Dai nationality culture in China. Unfortunately, I haven't done much photography work on this subject. Dai nationality culture has its unique and strong national styles, colors, clothes, accessories and an unforgettable dance. The culture also contains rich history, cultural traditions, aesthetic concepts, national consciousness and spirit.

After a long time of changes, Dai nationality culture has always been a symbol of beauty and the pride of minority nationality culture.

So, I started a shooting project with Dai nationality elements and contemporary aesthetic style. I invited dancers in Chinese Folk Dance field in the interpretation.

In this group of works, I shot the colors belonging to the Dai nationality throughout the whole group, I selected straw hats and jewelries that can represent the style of the Dai nationality, and invited costume designers to participate in the creation. The patterns on the costumes integrate traditional Chinese clouds, landscape paintings and other elements to present the national characteristics of China.
