Through Lu Heng’s lens

Something worth a closer look

A small gesture, an unexpected reflection, a familiar place seen from a different angle. Choose a photograph and take a moment with it.

Everyday details

Small subjects can hold our attention.

  • A monkey holds a snack while looking across a metal surface.

    Caught mid-bite

    A mouthful of food, a steady grip and wide-open eyes. A small pause gives this monkey a wonderfully expressive face.

  • An orange rests in front of a wide city view.

    An orange and its reflection

    An orange rests by the window, doubled by its reflection. The distant view becomes the backdrop to something small and familiar.

  • A toast above Moscow, with the city and Red Square below.

    A glass above Moscow

    A hand holds a glass close to the camera; beyond it, Moscow stretches into the distance. The city view includes a small, personal moment.

  • A vintage Midpoint Cafe sign set against the sky.

    The café sign

    The arrow points towards a café, but its lettering and worn edges are worth a look of their own. An ordinary roadside detail fills the frame.

Lines and doorways

Look up, look closer, or pause at an entrance.

  • A black-and-white view of a modern building rising into the sky.

    Looking up

    Pipes and beams converge around a narrow opening of sky. Looking up turns the building into a pattern of lines, light and gaps.

  • A large modern cross rises against a blue sky.

    A cross beneath the clouds

    The cross has crisp edges; the clouds behind it have none. That simple contrast makes both the structure and the open sky stand out.

  • A wooden doorway framed by stones and a dark screen.

    At the doorway

    Warm light falls on wood while the surrounding entrance stays in shadow. The picture draws attention to the threshold before showing what lies beyond.

  • Golden light reflects across a modern skyscraper.

    Evening light on glass

    A curve of glass catches the warm light against a cool sky. Seen from below, the tower is as much about changing light as its fixed shape.

Space and light

Rock, cloud, water and city roofs, each changed by the light.

  • A red sunlit form fills the frame with folds and shifting texture.

    Light inside the canyon

    Sunlight reaches into the canyon and reveals folds in the red rock. Follow the bright opening down into the darker curves.

    Above the clouds

    A slope emerges from low cloud beneath a wide blue sky. Some of the landscape is hidden, leaving room to imagine how far it continues.

  • The sun descends over calm open water.

    Sunset over open water

    The sun sits just above the water, with the shore darkening to one side. A few tiny points on the surface give the open sea a sense of scale.

  • A city at night gathered around an illuminated dome.

    A dome above the rooftops

    The lit dome rises above a spread of darker roofs. In a busy night view, one bright shape gives the eye somewhere to rest.

After dark

Tail lights and fireworks leave their marks on the night.

  • A black Porsche 911 with its tail lights glowing.

    Red lights at dusk

    Red tail lights stand out against the dark car and the fading day. The car is still; light and curved bodywork carry the picture.

    Fireworks reflected in water

    Fireworks open above the shore, with another trace of light on the water below. Look between the burst in the sky and its reflection.

  • A burst of fireworks takes the shape of a flower in the night sky.

    A flower in the night sky

    Seen as a still image, the burst resembles a flower on a bright stem. This second reading of the photograph stays with that shape.

  • Colourful fireworks build a temporary structure in the night sky.

    A sky full of colour

    Red, green and white trails overlap across the sky. A moment of celebration becomes a picture full of lines to explore.
