S1 Group Award of Excellence Georgian College 2018
Winner - Kelly Wang
Born in China, and now living in Canada, I really appreciate the freedom of expression I have in Canada, and enjoy creating work without constraints.
Photography is my vision of how I see the moment, and I follow my vision to create images that are powerful for me.
My goal is to continue the journey I started at Georgian College by assisting other photographers while continuing to shoot my own creative projects.

With 'Siren,' Unreal Engine blurs the line between CGI and reality
Epic Games has been obsessed with real-time motion capture for years, but the company is now trying to take its experiments with the technology one step further. Enter "Siren," a digital personality that it created alongside a few prominent firms in the gaming industry.
The crazy thing about Siren is that she comes to life using live mocap tech, powered by software from Vicon, that can make her body and finger movements be captured and live-streamed into an Unreal Engine project.

Nocturnus 75mm f/0.95 Unveiled: It's the World's Fastest 75mm Lens
The German brand Meyer-Optik Goerlitz has just announced the Nocturnus 75mm f/0.95, the world's fastest 75mm lens. It's designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras with Leica M, Sony FE, and Fuji X mounts.
The lens features a 15-blade steel aperture with anti-reflection coating for creamy bokeh that's "ideal for portrait photography in difficult light conditions." Paired with the massive f/0.95 maximum aperture, the lens "creates a three-dimensional appearance separating the subject from the background in a characteristic manner," the company says.

Film Photographers of the World Unite!...On This Website
Being a film photographer can be lonely. While those around you take hundreds of shots without blinking an eye, each taking only fractional amounts of seemingly endless digital space, you are encumbered with the knowledge that each shot you take
now
means one less shot you can take
later
.
Now, finally, analog warriors have a cafe in which to assemble, collaborate and discuss visual integrity and the transience of images in late capitalism. Not a real cafe, of course, but the aptly-titled open source platform Analog.Cafe, a "film photography publication."
