Lu Guang
I chose Lu Guang as an inspirational documentary photographer as I enjoy seeing the creative ideas within the way that he captures the polluted atmosphere within china, and the impact that it has caused on peoples lives living there.
Many of Lu Guang's photos have been printed within the National Geographic magazine, showing to the world the polluted diverse poverty that these people are living in, and the problems caused by such filth.
The aspects of Lu Guang's photography that I like is the way the he captures such a sad atmosphere, while also managing to keep his ideas fresh and artistic looking.
