IOE CI Young Photographers Competition 2020

My inspiration for this picture was when I went to China for 2 weeks as part of the Mandarin Excellence Programme, where I received the opportunity to broaden my knowledge about Chinese culture and language. When this picture was taken, I was learning about Chinese theatre and Chinese dancing. Aisosa Akenzua
In my photography, I chose to use a fisheye lens on my camera to get a fuller picture of what I was capturing. I depict my experience of the whole family gathered around the island, each person taking on a different role in the dumpling making process. I like the effect the fisheye lens has on the photo as it gives the whole photo a sense of togetherness and 'interconnectivity' meanwhile representing the annual nature of the popular Chinese New Year festival and mid-autumn festival. - Karen Chen
My inspiration for cooking these Chinese dishes was derived mainly from my trips to China. I have had several visits to China with my family and also one with school. During my school trip to Beijing, I was lucky enough to attended a much-needed cooking lesson. I learnt how to make Chinese dumplings and aubergine & pork hot pot. I have since been obsessed with Chinese cuisine. - Jashan Ball
All I did was get something was that unique to me, then make something with my own hands. After that, I created my own master piece! - Sara Abdulhadi
The fact that we are surrounded by so many things that are made in China but fail to realise it. - Habiba Hassan Bello
I find the Chinese culture very fascinating and beautiful. I just wanted to capture a photo to show people my perspective of China, Beijing. - Marija Jablonovska
The inspiration for the photo was my parents' trip to china in 2004 where they visited the great wall, terracotta army, forbidden city, and many other historical sites. I used some of their pictures to get an idea of what I wanted to create. - Kate Adams
Me and my family were walking in London around China town, and we were walking beneath these exquisite arches. I thought this would be a perfect entry for the Photo competition, I found the perfect angle, and took the photo. The real reason I submitted this photo was the fact that the lights on the surrounding arch lit the arch up, and made it look ethereal - Eden Cracknell
I was trying to compose a piece of art work that would represent the magnitude of the Chinese market influence in a wide range of different items. I chose the most interesting and weird items of the house to make my collage as attractive and colourful as possible. - Lina Gonzales
My inspiration for the photograph is my love of Chinese food. I also have friends in Beijing and Hong Kong and we regularly discuss recipes and swap pictures of food we like to cook and eat. I love to cook Chinese food and my favourite is sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and spring rolls. I also like to draw and take photographs of food. - Ellie Morrison
