His photographs are crisp and have intensity in their framework , but his edits are resonant of 18th-century watercolours , blurring the line between a painting and a photograph . His style and work inspiration come from animated movies , traditional art and whatever catches his attention in a museum . He believes the idea , story and the message to be the required components for creating the perfect shot . His work has the essence of synergy and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts .
Despite only being involved with photography for around five years , Chin ’ s style is distinctive and separates the hobby from a form of art . Each of his shots has potential and he sets not to compromise on his vision when he doesn ’ t get an absolute idea for portraying his imagination ; he is okay letting the ideas sit . He says “ Sometimes the project will be left behind there until I finally find the image I want , and then I will finish the piece .” This adds an extraordinary and intangible value to his work . While talking about photography manipulation essentials , he focuses on the story of the image and photo composition .
He makes sure that the lighting of the image should match and concentrate on the background picture and its source of light . Then he looks for the image with similar potential and resolution to match the background light source . After getting an appropriate picture to merge , photo composition takes place . The composition is where his expertise lies that make his work appear more realistic and perfect . The blend of different subjects together possesses the ability to completely transform the vibe of each . After this , the only required step is to perform quick color correction so that everything combines well . His zeal towards his work makes it sound so simple and magical but he confesses that it needs a lot of practice to get it all correct .
