At first glance you may think that that Li Wei’s action shots have some post production photoshop elements to them.
Not the case.
Li uses a mixture of props, wires, cleverly positioned cameras and good old fashioned acrobatics to achieve the astounding effects in his photographs. All of these elements combined give Li’s work the immediate ‘Wow!’ factor and leaves you asking the question is what I’m looking at actual reality?
After dropping out of art school and dabbling in oil painting, Li decided to focus on action art because, as he puts it, only it “offers a chance to experience an action’s message through one’s own body.” Li threw himself (literally) into this medium of expression, staging stunts in which he captures on film exhilarating moments of what appears to be extreme danger.
