Gradually, Su's photos became famous among his colleagues and the local media.

To relieve pressure from work, he began to take photos of natural scenery, portraits and architecture in his spare time from 2006.

"Photography can make me feel happy and relaxed," he said. "In 2014, a photo of mine won third prize in an ancient architecture photography competition, which made me even more interested in photographing ancient architecture."

In order to effectively present the broad and profound culture of Chinese ancient architecture in his photos, Su spent a lot of time researching in libraries across the country.
