A captivating photography exhibition titled ‘The Greater Bay Area Sightings’ recently opened at the Santa Anita Mall in Arcadia, Los Angeles, offering a unique glimpse into modern China through the lenses of five acclaimed photographers. The exhibition, themed ‘Reflections of the Greater Bay Area: The Future City Through Our Eyes,’ showcases the work of Nick Ut, Irfan Khan, Ringo Chiu, Michael Nelson, and Sarah Reingewirtz, who traveled through the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in September. Their photographs capture the region’s energy, beauty, and potential, reflecting China’s path toward modernization and openness. Nick Ut, the Vietnamese-American photographer renowned for his Pulitzer Prize-winning image ‘The Terror of War,’ expressed his deep affection for China, highlighting the peace and joy he found in cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong. Irfan Khan’s works, including ‘Unseen,’ portray the serenity and vibrancy of modern Chinese life, while Ringo Chiu’s images emphasize Hong Kong’s resilience and economic integration. Michael Nelson’s piece ‘Flowing’ captures the dynamic rhythm of Hong Kong’s skyline, symbolizing China’s rapid modernization. The exhibition’s curatorial theme, ‘FUTURE,’ is explored through six key words: Flowing, Unseen, Tech-driven, Unique, Resilient, and Enjoyable. Organized by Guangdong Radio and Television and R & C Media Group, the exhibition aims to present the Greater Bay Area in a global context, using photography as a universal language to tell the story of China’s development and its place in the world.
