My name is Puiming Webber, but all my friends call me Ming.

I believe the essential quality of a photograph, as in all of art, is to evoke an emotional response.
I seem to be very tuned in to my immediate environment, and I find my moods being affected by the changing light throughout the day. However, I find it a great challenge to select just the right place and the right moment to create a photograph that conveys how I feel.

A great photograph is not always about where you are, but more often, it is about your perception and your state of mind. The imagery that I am most attracted to is perhaps less conventional. I do look for beauty, but not in a traditional sense. I am drawn to photographing places that are in constant state of flux, objects that are in various stages of decay, and because they are past their prime, they have all but just forgotten.

My photographs are not aimed to be literal representations of what the subjects are, instead they are imprints of those transient moments I have witnessed. They are what I like to call ‘traces of an emotional space’.

In that respect, I have found the two-dimensional medium of photography as a perfect medium for me. Working with just two dimensions has enabled me to abstract my experiences into something less literal, and more personal.
