MOONCAKE FESTIVAL
A bold, minimalistic photo series capturing the Mooncake Festival through simplified forms and a strict palette of primary colors. The aim is to reinterpret traditional autumn festival elements with a modern, editorial aesthetic that emphasizes shape, light and visual impact rather than ornate detail that can be showcased across social media.

The imagery uses a solid grey backdrop, red and blue directional lighting and clean compositions with generous negative space to create a bold, graphic aesthetic. Traditional festival elements are centred, tightly framed, and reduced to their most recognisable forms, highlighting strong geometry and sharp contrasts. By simplifying these cultural symbols and focusing on colour, light and composition, the series transforms familiar rituals into striking, contemporary visual icons.
