Lee Ming tiao's photos depict Taipei's postwar suburbs, the Tamsui River, and the city's bridges. Lee's photographs of human figures from the conservative 1950s are also on show. His use of light imbues the female form with the aesthetic charm of classical art.
Dennis K. Chin's early photojournalistic works document pivotal times in Taiwanese history. He made several trips after retirement, taking wonderful photographs all over the world. Chin's pictures are notable for their distinctive compositions and vibrant colors, which demonstrate the photographer's ability to capture scenes as well as his creative energy.
