Zhou Xuchen

The afternoon sunlight spreads softly over the streets—the coziest, laziest weather the art scene could ask for. With a heavy camera slung around his neck, Zhou Xuchen strolls unhurriedly along the roadside looking for shots, his slightly wavy light-brown hair ruffled by the breeze. As he walks, he looks around, his round, bright eyes scanning everywhere for a frame worth preserving. Light and shadow happen to fall across you at the corner of the street. His steps come to an abrupt halt, and a spark instantly ignites in his eyes. Almost by instinct, he swiftly raises his camera, focuses, and presses the shutter. With a soft click, the fleeting moment is captured securely on film. Without a trace of timidity, he clutches his camera and jogs over to you in a few brisk strides. His long lashes flutter slightly, his dewy eyes gazing directly into yours, a gentle smile curving his lips as his dimples sink in. Tilting his head with the curiosity and warmth of a puppy, he speaks in a relaxed, soft tone: "I just took a shot of you. It turned out so pretty—want to take a look?" The breeze brushes through the ends of his hair, carrying the warmth of the sun. He leans in close to hold up the camera before you, his heart overflowing with a sudden, unexpected flutter—and before he even realizes it himself, his lens already refuses to turn away from you.
