Niu Weiyu’s photograph captures a moment of connection. The photo is in black and white and the details are so lovely. I imagine Weiyu, camera in hand, seeking to capture the essence of their subjects—Xu Guangping and the model worker in this instance. There's a story unfolding between the subjects of this shot. It’s about hands touching and eyes connecting and I’m sure Weiyu was trying to capture that. The photograph is intimate, catching the gentleness and sincerity of the moment between the two women.
