Since blending so many influences is hard, Thomas started from what he knew best — the internet's popular style — producing his first series China Different: applying Western color aesthetics eastward, with drones, satellite maps and 3D models, to portray China's natural and urban scenery (at 4:31 in the video)."},{"t":"img","f":"v04","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"这些科技手段已被国外风景摄影师大规模应用：3D 模型和卫星地图让人足不出户就能对目的地做精细考察（西藏那曲、新疆库车、甘肃敦煌这些机位就是他通过卫星地图独创发现的）；巧摄、极摄等手机 APP 能精确计算月亮、银河在某日某时与山峰建筑的方位关系；到现场再用无人机快速侦查，创作效率大大提升（视频 5:02 处）。而在黄山、桂林、内蒙、重庆这些网红景点，他则做个性化的艺术呈现——比如上海外滩那张雨夜照片：高楼大厦和灯红酒绿只是表象，他想记录的是雨夜在外滩匆忙走过、还在看手机的时髦上班族，去展现真实的摩登人的生活状态（视频 5:58 处）。这组作品在国内外社交平台都获得了不错的传播。","xe":"These tools are already standard among Western landscape photographers: 3D models and satellite maps allow meticulous remote scouting (his viewpoints at Naqu in Tibet, Kuche in Xinjiang and Dunhuang in Gansu were all original satellite-map finds); apps like PlanIt compute exactly where the moon or Milky Way will sit relative to a peak or building at any hour; on site, a drone does the fast reconnaissance — efficiency multiplied (at 5:02 in the video). At viral spots like Huangshan, Guilin, Inner Mongolia and Chongqing, he instead personalizes: his rainy-night Bund photograph treats towers and neon as mere surface, seeking the fashionable commuters hurrying past, eyes on their phones — the real state of modern urban life (at 5:58 in the video).

In today's discourse, foreign audiences don't lack knowledge of Xi'an and Beijing's ancient history or Shanghai and Shenzhen's modernity; they hold biases about how ordinary Chinese people actually live (at 6:23 in the video).

Why trains? Because only in today's China — the country with the world's longest high-speed and passenger rail mileage, across 9.6 million square kilometers — can a train window stream past such range: plateaus, rainforests, snow mountains, lakes, water towns, the sea, mega city clusters and tiny villages."},{"t":"img","f":"v06","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"这条路上有两位榜样：王福春老师的《火车上的中国人》，以及美国摄影师李·弗里德兰德的《America by Car》（汽车上的美国）——他们展示了如何通过交通工具去展现一个国家、一个时代，为这组作品提供了巨大参考（视频 8:39 处）。","xe":"Two exemplars lit the way: Wang Fuchun's \"Chinese on the Train\" and American photographer Lee Friedlander's \"America by Car\" — both showing how a mode of transport can portray a nation and its era, an enormous reference for this series (at 8:39 in the video)."},{"t":"img","f":"v07","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"在这组照片中，车窗外既有美丽的自然景观，也有铁塔、公路、桥梁、化工厂、风力机组这样的时代景观：可可西里雪山下的公路与光缆、沱沱河站外密集的防沙网墙、戈壁滩上孤零零的基站信号塔——它们为祖国震撼的山川湖海，附上了 2020 年代的时代记忆（视频 8:57 处）。","xe":"Outside these windows ride both beautiful nature and the era's landmarks — pylons, highways, bridges, chemical plants, wind turbines: the road and fiber-optic lines beneath snow mountains at Hoh Xil, the dense sand fences outside Tuotuohe station, a lone cell tower on the Gobi — attaching a 2020s memory to the country's staggering mountains and seas (at 8:57 in the video)."},{"t":"img","f":"v08","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"车窗内外则有很多普通人或他们的物件出现：修路工人、铁道职工、支教老师、游客、当地居民；具有民族特色的行李箱与窗外吊车上的修路工人，桌上小憩的中国中车技术工程师与窗外田里劳作的农民，复兴号动车组现代化商务座上的当地老人与窗外传统的雪山和高原集市（视频 9:22 处）。这些普通人的衣着、物件和故事，用一种更贴近生活的方式，讲述了高铁基建这样的宏大叙事。","xe":"In and around the windows float ordinary people and their things: road crews, railway staff, volunteer teachers, travelers, villagers; an ethnic-patterned suitcase answering a worker on a crane outside; a CRRC engineer napping at his tray table against farmers toiling in the fields; an elderly local in the Fuxing Hao's modern business seat set against traditional snow mountains and a highland market (at 9:22 in the video).

The series earned hundreds of millions of views at home, interviews including China Youth Daily, and an Asia honorable mention at the 2023 World Press Photo; several of the abandoned towers, after the attention and official support, resumed construction and were completed — proof of how landscape photography, fused with documentary, can genuinely move society."},{"t":"img","f":"v12","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"从 2023 年底开始，他把镜头对准新能源、5G 通信、特种材料等新质生产力行业，以「塔」这一符号进行概括呈现，开始了「中国新塔」项目（视频 12:37 处）：中国的古塔以佛塔为主，用于供奉舍利与法物，是古代信仰和文化的象征；而他利用无人机长焦镜头拍摄的高压输电塔、5G 信号塔、风力发电塔、光热发电塔、化工厂排放塔、公路桥梁的吊塔等现代新塔，代表着中国未来的发展方向，以及人与环境问题可能的解决方案。这组作品的布局和色调受中国传统山水画影响，不止于表面模仿，更希望从哲学与思想上呈现与时俱进的「天人合一」境界。未来他还计划用工业无人机搭配中画幅相机，在细节上与当代巨幅景观摄影对标，带来「远观似画、近观如实」的多层次观赏效果。","xe":"From late 2023 he turned to the industries of new productive forces — renewables, 5G, advanced materials — summarizing them through the symbol of the tower in his \"New Towers of China\" project (at 12:37 in the video): China's ancient pagodas, mainly Buddhist, housed relics and scriptures as symbols of faith and culture; the modern towers he shoots with a drone's telephoto — high-voltage lines, 5G masts, wind and solar-thermal towers, plant stacks, construction cranes — stand for the country's future direction and possible answers to its environmental questions.
