Due to a remarkable number of feedbacks, the Foreign Literature publications and the Chinese International Pictorial Book Trading Company decided to increase its current printings on the photographic albums that were created by the Beijing ShiXin Marketing Company titled “The Invisible forbidden city” and “The Invisible Great Wall”.

The “Invisible” series has caused quite a stir within the photographical community. In the age of globalization, the two albums has also became an excellent gift for the portrayal of Chinese Culture to the outside world.

The brilliant photographic series is entirely created Mr. Li Shao Bai. Mr. Li describes that his style of photography could be dissected into four characteristics. The first involves rarity: photos or scenes that are hard to come by such as a work photographing the sunset from the roof of The Forbidden City.

The second is transforming from complexity to simplicity: This involves taking photographs of the simple things that sometimes we choose to neglect; it is through these photos that we begin to see order and complexity.

The Third would be transforming what you see to you want to see. The photographic works often reflects what the audience wanted to see, and in real fact, it is what you see as well, turning Reality into Art and Art into Reality.

Finally, reflecting what you see into what you cannot see. A good photograph should not only reflect the object or its illumination level but the meaning behind the photograph as well. The photographer needs to express its emotions and passion to the audience as a result. According to Mr. Li, even though he has works that reflects all four stages, however, most of his works reflects the first two stages, while it is the latter two that are hard to come by.
