The Beauty of “Iron Tree” Fireworks

A firework show of molten iron sparks, China's Intangible Cultural Heritage. I moved behind the performer to capture a striking silhouette. With water reflections and ancient architecture in the background, the scene felt like a wuxia fantasy—like a martial arts master fending off a fiery rain.

About Artist

Chua Yak Hian

I’m a freelance photographer focus in wedding, event, and interior design photography. With over 10 years of experience, photography to me is more than just a profession — it's a way of storytelling. When I travel, I’m drawn to capturing candid moments of people and the breathtaking beauty of landscapes. Every place has its own rhythm, every person a unique story, and every culture its own colours of life. These diverse experiences have shaped how I see the world — through a lens that seeks meaning, emotion, and connection. Among all genres, wedding photography remains closest to my heart. I love the genuine joy, the warm atmosphere, and the spontaneous emotions shared between people. Being able to freeze those once-in-a-lifetime moments for couples is a privilege I never take for granted. Here’s to capturing more stories, celebrating more love, and continuing the journey — one frame at a time. Cheers to all photographers out there who see the world through light and emotion.
