Stone Peng is a Grand Rapids, Michigan-USA based national and international award-winning photographer.
Through photos I try to express a message of peace, calm, and beautiful scenery surrounding us in our living environment. I also describe how I create my photos and the feelings I have during that moment; each photo will include all information captions along with my own dialogue.
Every landscape has its own life and meaning, depending on the viewer’s mood. I try to catch that emotional feeling at specific moments in landscapes, using the Chinese philosophy of life and the aesthetic principles "less is more," and "empty is full" in creating my images. Using primarily white tones in the background lends a simplicity and ethereal purity to a subject that gives you a calm, peaceful, infinitely deep and immeasurable feeling. The empty space offers the viewer a peaceful feeling and a chance to focus on what it really takes to find balance in life and capture a little piece of it for our self.
From my photos, I also want people rethinking “being alone” is not bad. It shows that it is beautiful to just be yourself and have confidence inside.
“Tranquility, simplicity, and beauty are the essence of my photos.”
I hope you like my photos and will support my project.
