Li Hui is a self-taught photographer from Hangzhou, China. Her work focuses on intimate explorations of youth and nature, and the interactions that occur between them.
Stillness and silence are qualities inherently present in Li Hui’s photography, which shares intimate observations of the world around her. Using friends as models, Li Hui creates images that translate a quiet confidence and a delicate way of interacting with her surroundings. Throughout her body of work, the photographer adopts an experimental approach, including the use of multiple exposure to layer the human body with natural imagery. Li Hui is careful to find a middle ground between concealing and revealing her subjects, presenting a sensitive, cinematic view of her everyday encounters.
