Tao Liu was an unknown water meter reader in China with an interest in photography. Liu is self-taught, learning what he can about the craft through the Internet, magazines, and photography books, then people started noticing his clever photos captured on sidewalks. He states that: “sometimes I want to create a sense of mo lei tau [nonsense] in my work, too. But I don’t want the pictures to be too straightforward.”

Liu says his goal is to “remind people of the touching moments in life.” His photographic process involves roaming the streets of his city and snapping a photograph when something catches his eye; he looks for subtle things that most people will walk by and completely miss.
