Currently a second-year student at Zhuangjing Vocational High School, Lu Jiabao began exploring photography after taking the junior high school entrance exam. Fond of landscape photography, he has built personal inspiration for creative photography through long-term appreciation of works by photographers both domestic and abroad, and also has his own unique observations in daily life and during travels.

Lu Jiabao also mentioned: “(The metro security guard) They really work hard, so I think in this crowded city, it often gets packed after work. I want to thank these unsung heroes who direct traffic and guide the crowds. Though their roles may seem small, they are indispensable.”

Lu Jiabao’s photography wins an award: Honorable Mention at the Paris Px3 Photography Awards.
Whether natural landscapes or urban scenes, whether grand vistas or alleyway charm, the moving details of travel and everyday moments are worth careful observation and capture. Through Lu Jiabao’s works, we also see Taipei Metro from a different perspective, infused with a subtle and thoughtful sense of gratitude that shines through the images.
