"There was a period when I placed a special emphasis on the quality of the visuals, such as excellent lighting, perfect composition, and impeccable tones," Zhao says.
"However, nowadays, there is more focus on conveying emotions and feelings through the visuals, and there is a significant difference in my pursuit of equipment and image quality compared to before," she says.
