A small broken broom, after being transformed by He Wenming, can produce a beautiful melody; a discarded foam board, after being cut by him, has become photographic props highly appreciated by customers. In 2008, He Wenming, a photographer who came to Hangzhou to start a business, in order to integrate unique elements into his photography works and to save cost, started trying to use waste products to make photographic props.

For more than 10 years, He Wenming has been dealing with waste products, and as a person who has loved handwork and art since his childhood, he has a unique born gift for "turn waste into useful material ".

His " utilization of waste " gradually is going towards a trend of diversification. In addition to the props that need to be updated for his daily photography, He Wenming also started trying to make their own musical instruments.

He told the reporter that he was so greatly influenced by the folk band which performed at the countryside wedding or funeral ceremony in his hometown when he was a child that he always loves playing musical instruments. He can play more than 20 instruments including Xiao (a vertical bamboo flute), guitar, flute, cucurbit, and piano. " But buying instruments is really more expensive, you know, so I try to do it myself. Whether the hand-made instrument has sound difference or whether it is perfect, this is not my priority of consideration since happiness is the most important to me."

In his photographic studio, there are more than 10 kinds of musical instruments including pipa, Yueqin, harp and drum which are hand-made by himself.

Recently, He Wenming also tries to produce short videos of "turn waste into useful material" process and spread them to the Internet, " I just want to present some funny and interesting things during the production process to everyone, and at the same time, I also want to spread the green concept of "turn waste into useful materials".

一把不起眼的破扫帚，在何文明的改造下，就能吹出动听的旋律；一块丢弃的泡沫板，经过何文明的“剪裁”，就成了顾客都点赞的摄影道具……2008年，初来杭州创业的摄影师何文明（又称“葫芦哥”）为了在自己的摄影作品中融入独特的元素，同时也为了节约成本考虑，开始尝试利用废品制作摄影道具。

10多年里，何文明一直在和废品打交道，从小就喜欢手工和美术的他，对“废物利用”有着独特的天分。

何文明的“废物利用”逐渐朝着多元化发展。除了平时摄影需要更新的道具，何文明还开始自己试着做乐器。

何文明告诉记者，受小时候农村红白喜事上民间乐队的“熏陶”，何文明对吹拉弹唱一直偏爱，箫、吉他、笛子、葫芦丝、钢琴等20多种乐器都玩过，“但买乐器确实比较费钱，我就尝试自己做，对于我来说，好玩、快乐才最重要，至于做出来的乐器会不会有音差、是否完美，这并不是我首要考虑的。”

在何文明的影楼里，自己亲手制作的乐器就有10多种，包括琵琶、月琴、箜篌、鼓等乐器。

最近，何文明还尝试把自己“变废为宝”的过程拍成短视频，并传到网上，“把制作过程中一些比较好玩、有趣的东西呈现给大家，同时，也想向大家传播这种‘变废为宝’的理念。”
