Introduction

Speaking exercise

I am a graphic designer I was working for an advertising agency WPP/ But sometimes I am a freelancer as an artist. Photographer but I was good at drawing. I draw something for business or some business show like sleep no more. I just be a freelancer in weekends.
I saw the show 3 years ago and at the first time I think wow the attention to details was amazing The music was spot on and the performance is so amazing. The show is special, there is no real stage, the audience were part of the show. as a actor.
That show is dance show, it was staged in 2 cities in the world. NYC and SH. NYC was stage in 2010 and Shanghai 6 years later.
the show have 3 storylines in NYC but in SH it add a new storyline, a story about white snake, a tail of china classic. So some fans fly to Shanghai from NYC for the new storyline.
I just take the photos with my heart and follow my feelings. I prefer portrait but I love it but I can’t because I am not a professional photographer so I haven’t some place to take some photos for the people so I just take some portraits in my trips or some events.
Nowadays the camera is getting better so BTW I can take some videos and make some iMovies and premiere and make some movies and trailers for some shows and events.

nowadays camera can make some movies by 4k, it has high quality video.
Because of this show I have some work, some business work about that show. I have some projects and the director of the show is my business partner but he is English from London so I want to have a nice dialogue so I want to make my English is better. This is one of the reasons why. I went to the show many times. This show shooting and photos were limited so you can see the show but at first your phone and your camera will be sealed into a blackbag so there are nothing for capture this show for the show and the performance so after the show. so everyone can’t see what happens.
Just you and the performance but don’t worry everything was according the script but I know this is a fiction but the feeling is true.
maybe it is once in your lifetime it is so cool. I want to capture this feeling.
back to home and I want to drawing something for this moment.
