Gina Wu

Gina Wu is a photographer who started with a love for beauty using a mobile phone camera. Her journey evolved from selfies to landscape photography, connecting her with fellow enthusiasts and deepening her passion. As an amateur photographer, she enjoys capturing the aesthetic moments of everyday life, her works include the award-winning "Bombing Lord Handan."

Inspired by a natural love for beauty and armed with a mobile phone camera, I began with selfies, moved to portrait photography, and eventually embraced landscape photography. Along the way, I connected with fellow enthusiasts and fully entered the world of photography.

I honed my photography skills by observing the aesthetic beauty in everyday life and capturing scenes that caught my eye. I dedicated my time to taking more pictures and immersing myself in reading about aesthetics and art during the weekdays.

It was street photography, I remember my first shot was recording the scenery of people and traffic passing through the streets and alleys.

The equipment I use for my photography is a humble mobile phone and a single-lens camera.

A compliment that inspired me was the comment, "I love your photography so much!"

Any beautiful person or thing can make me happy emotionally, and I want to inject this energy into my work.

Emotional, artistic, and real.

Thank you! Winning the MUSE Photography Awards is an incredible honor. I am deeply grateful for the recognition from international photography organizations and judges, as it brings me one step closer to achieving my dream.

This is a very special ceremony in Taitung, Taiwan. It is generally believed that the Lord of Handan is the God of Wealth. Someone will be selected to play the role of Lord Handan. The man was wearing only a pair of red shorts and covered his face with a towel. He holds a branch in his hand to protect himself. He would then be carried on a sedan chair and firecrackers would be thrown at his naked body.

Being able to win awards for your favorite interests means that you are recognized in the field of photography.
