Hi! My name is XIN WEN, but feel free to call me 'STAR' if that’s easier for you.
I’m an artistic individual who’s always been fascinated by the idea of capturing moments through photography. After picking up my first camera, the Ricoh GR III, that’s when my love and passion really took off.
I’d say I’m pretty versatile with my photography styles, but the street is my training ground. My approach isn’t about making things look prettier — not at all! It’s about documenting and capturing my perspective in the most authentic way possible, or anything that inspires me or makes me feel a certain kind of way. I like to think that photography is just a very convenient way to translate my artistic ideas and share my inner self with the world. That’s why I don’t attempt to explain my photos — they speak for me.
All photos are shot with my beloved Ricoh GR III & Fujifilm X100VI.
