ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The Shanghai Oriental Sports Center stands as one of the world's largest sports complexes primarily dedicated to swimming and diving. Guided by the principles of 'green, environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and human-centric' in its architectural design, it aims to create a creatively distinctive sports venue. The architectural forms here predominantly consist of various arch arrangements, with the surfaces of the arches covered in white aluminum panels. The facades between the arches are glazed, giving the overall structure the appearance of progressively layered waves. This dynamic and sleek architectural design emphasizes its vibrancy and modernity.
This is the indoor swimming pool of the sports center, which has the Olympic swimming pool, diving pool and training pool. Its name is “Jade Belt Bridge”.
Shot in Shanghai China in August 2023. This photo was taken during the day, but in order to better highlight the features of these buildings, I did a lot of post-processing in Photoshop to make them look like night shots, including changing the background, adjusting the light, motion blur, adding or removing elements, and so on.

AUTHOR
As a photography enthusiast, I'm based in Toronto Canada.
I have been exposed to photography since a very young age and had taken lots of photos. But in adulthood, I abandoned the hobby for a long long time because of my work. I did get the chance to cultivate this interest of mine again after arriving to Canada in 2013, but I had only been taking some photos during family trips.
Since 2019, I have officially started learning photography, focusing on post processing techniques.
