Since getting himself an entry-level digital SLR camera with some savings from a study scholarship to Japan in 2008, Weizhong (a.k.a. gnohz) has always considered photography to be his voice, expressing himself through the world he sees in the viewfinder.
That same year saw him taking a series of trips to over 30 prefectures covering most of Japan’s rural and urban landscapes, and also resulted in a couple of successful solo photography exhibitions.
In 2010, he was awarded the runner up in the Celebration Asia! category in the Travel Without Borders photography competition organised by award-winning travel magazine Asian Geographic Passport. His works were showcased at the OneAsia Festival 2010 organised by renowned Asian Geographic magazine and his images were also selected as some of the best to be on display at ION Orchard’s art gallery, ION Art, in Singapore under the CapitaLand-National Geographic Channel photography contest.
Known for his simple but calming elements, Weizhong cites influences from people such as Irie Taikichi, a Japanese photographer specialising in the historical sites of Nara prefecture, Japan. View more of his works on Facebook and deviantART.
