The Ann/Anne photo series is so softly out of focus that at first I thought it was a collection of paintings rather than photographs. Beautifully romantic, you only gain blurred glimpses of the subject, as if she only remained in your fading memory.
Photographed by Yu-Hsin Su, the Ann/Anne photo series is entirely romantic. Relying heavily on careful composition and an acute understanding of photographic techniques, it is a well-executed series that is full of mixed emotions.
