Li Wei is a superhero. Li Wei is a photographer and a super-human. He has fantastic powers and belongs in the superhero league of JUSTICE. That’s what I think about him. His photos are fantastic! But not complicated. No, Li Wei is quite simple, and quite simply fantastic. You must explore his outer space antics! (Many of them being right here, in this post!)

As it is the charge of some photographers and image-makers to represent the quality in everyday life, so it is the charge of Li Wei to show the ultra-fantastic.
A few examples of how to identify a Li Wei:
If it has Li Wei (yes that is him) smashed into a surface with his head buried in the ground or some similar surface, it is generally called “Li Wei falls to the …” — in this case, it is called “Li Wei falls to the France.”
If it has two people (generally Li Wei and a lady) together, it probably has “Love” in the title. The picture you see above is called “Love meets 15m.” I’m sure you’re seeing a trend of flight and highness by now.
Finally (but not all-encompassingly finally) we have the simply titled “Boxing.” In Li Wei’s newest photos (of which most of the photos below are), the titles become very simple, and the concept simply out of this world.
This post is part of the World Famous Design Junkies photography and unnatural nature categories, amongst many others, I’m sure.
