09/07/11: Jing Huang
Jing Huang, born in Guangzhou and now a resident of Shenzhen, China, was just named as the recipient this year’s Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award.

His self-selected portfolio of 12 black-and-white fine art images shot with his beloved Leica M4-P were chosen from over 2,000 entries.

His favorite image in the group: “The picture of a kitten walking along a fallen tree branch, which makes me imagine a journey to an unknown destination.”

A graduate in Photography and Digital Art from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Huang’s provocative and often whimsically surreal images convey a sense of the magical in outwardly ordinary scenes.

“Perhaps we all have that sense of magic deep in our hearts,” says Huang prophetically.

“All that is necessary to release the passion of this inner magic is a tool which, to me, is a camera.”

What follows is the underlying story of that passion expressed by Jing Huang.
