The , organized by cizucu since the end of last year, allows participants to join a photo poster exhibition simply by submitting their photos to cizucu. It’s a great opportunity to meet new photographer friends.
This time, we spoke with tkzw46 (TK), a creator who participated in the .
Please introduce yourself!
Hello, I’m tkzw46 (TK). I love taking photos and always want to capture something. Recently, I’ve been drawn to street photography, aiming to capture the loneliness, chaos, and subtle discomfort of urban life.
What made you decide to participate?
I’ve participated in portrait exhibitions before, but I wanted to showcase non-portrait photos as well. I also wanted to talk about photography and shooting techniques with people who love photography, without being confined to a specific genre.
I found out about the on Instagram. The ease of participation, the convenient schedule, and the fact that it was held at a gallery I admired motivated me to apply.
How was your experience participating?
As expected, the event brought together people who love photography, and I enjoyed interacting with everyone who participated. The staff were friendly and encouraged interaction among participants, making the time fly by.
Listening to others talk about what they felt and thought when they pressed the shutter was incredibly insightful. The diversity of genres among the participants’ photos was also a highlight.
Why did you choose that particular photo?
The theme this time was 'Things I Love,' so I chose something that could showcase my 'love.' The photo features architecture, a minimalistic composition, and a construction worker in a yellow helmet as an accent, which sparked conversations from various perspectives.
For those considering joining the photo poster project
The is held nationwide, making it easy to participate and a great way to meet fellow photography enthusiasts. It’s rare to find an exhibition that emphasizes participant interaction so much.
If the schedule works for you, consider joining an event in a distant location as part of a trip or business trip. While not mandatory, having business cards can help foster connections afterward.
I plan to participate again when I get the chance, so I hope to see you at one of these events!
