Hi,

I'm a final year photography student starting a project on culturally-themed still life.

Having so much beautiful imagery to offer, China was right near the top of my list of Countries to build a scene around.

I was hoping that some of you would be willing to share some of the things which you believe to be iconically Chinese?

The whole shot centres around the color Red.

Thanks for your help! Smile

I think you have restricted yourself seriously by specifying a red theme.

Just don't specify red.

And does anything have to be iconic? What is iconic anyway - everyone holds different outlook and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Gather from a broad range then get more specific as you find things of interest. An interesting theme may emerge.
