If you had to describe your photography style, how would you
describe it?
The first word came to my mind is dreamy. I really enjoy capturing the
image which combine reality and dream, rather than just recording the
real world.

favorite moments?
My favorite part must be processing the theme or idea. I would have
brainstorming with my team sometimes, and always get a better idea.
Working with the team who has the similar taste make me relax and
comfortable.

My most favorite moments recently was to seek a stone which would be
shot in an editorial. Disappointing that it was so hard to find a stone in a
big city .And just few days ago, my friend send me a gift which was a
perfect stone haha. It’s just like destiny.
Share with us some of your favorite photoshoots and why you love
them!
<the snake and the farmer>can be impressive to me. I tried to achieve a
contemporary fable of “ the farmer and the snake ” to tell a story about a
suffering woman, focusing on the emotions of her. I keep concerning about
the domestic violence issue, especially the psychological trauma which
would always be ignored .I want to tell a story to make people be aware of
the issue.In this series, the snake represent the perpetrator in domestic
violence. Finding and modeling a snake was a hard task for me, but luckily,I
made friends with “ baby girl”(name of the snake)

How has social distancing aided or hindered your artwork?
I’m not good at social media but I think it’s still a good way to showcase
yourself and make friends.

What role do you believe editorial artists play in society? (their
impact)
I think the most important thing is to create the things that you truly
love, not just for the standard aesthetic, to encourage different types of
beauty.
