“24 Hour Project”
Dear readers, in this issue, our Chongqing Stories will change shape. This time, we decided to promote the 24 Hour Project, a photographic project of one of our readers, Joawe Yang, a mass media major student at Chongqing University. She decided to take part and share her experience with us.
The 24 Hour Project started in 2012, and every year gathers emerging photographers, aspiring photojournalist and visual story-tellers from several cities around the globe. They follow a specific topic and share their photos documenting humanity in real time during 24 hours. The topic of this year is urban life.
This year, Joawe Yang became the Chongqing city ambassador, which officially allowed her to launch a personal project in our beautiful city. She formed a group, hit the streets, and started documenting and grasping glimpses of the beauty in people, thinking about the stories behind the people that they encounter within a day. So then, every hour – every person – of this project will count.
Take a look at the 24 photos:
