SCôP Exhibition | “Good Vibrations” will be exhibited soon.

“Good Vibrations” is a photographic project jointly initiated by the Shanghai Center of Photography, its founder the photographer Liu Heung Shing, and China’s leading actress Zhou Xun. As the first photographic project in China that provides celebrities with an opportunity to explore their passion for photography, “Good Vibrations” will be officially unveiled to audiences in November 2021. The exhibition features the work of Bi Gan, Chen Kun, Leah Dou, Huang Jue, Jiang Wen, Liu Haoran, Nana Ou-yang, Shu Qi, and Zhou Xun. Each of them turned their camera lens to the important people in their life, conveying their love, friendship and respect towards their chosen subject, as well as their unique approach to photographic language.  

The exhibition title “Good Vibrations” expresses the energy that drives this project, reflecting the core theme of turning a spotlight upon those individuals whose care and guidance, friendship, and mentoring give us a reason to do all that we strive for. 

“Good Vibrations” celebrates human relationships, the nurturing effects of good energy, and those who give unconditionally. 

No matter who you are, those good vibrations provided by family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones are the fuel that sustains us. For Huang Jue, taking photos serves as a way of expressing love to his wife Mai Zi. While developing films, Leah Dou's memory is always evoked by the people and things forgotten during the journey. Faced with his favorite actress Zhou Xun, Liu Haoran chose to take pictures of her pure look. Nana Ou-yang likes to zoom in on the details of life and takes photography as a link between mother and daughter. Bi Gan creatively shot his mother's shadow to interpret the meaning of "switching places" affectionately.

The intention of the project “Good Vibrations” is to keep a record of the most important people in one’s life through photography directly and implicitly, putting real emotions into vivid pictures to express what people want to say. “Good Vibrations” invites the viewers to closely feel the profound connotations behind these photos, observe their own unique and rich emotional world, and give more care and companionship to the people around them.

Accompanying the exhibition is a short video clip also titled “Good Vibrations”. This film is created under the guidance of the well-known director Arthur Jones, and his team, who documented every detail of the process of making these photographs in the exhibition. The audience will have the opportunity to view the behind-the-scenes stories of nine celebrities through the special perspective, exploring the heartfelt moments in front of and behind the camera.

In the name of love, shoot a rich and unique life.
