Hi Huneybees,
There's a little sense of pride in me that an Asian is picked as inspiration for a M.A.C. collection!
Well, she's Beijing's leading photographer and over the years, she has contributed to some of the world's best-known lifestyle magazines and campaigned for international brands such as Motorola and Adidas.
She gained prominence in 2003 when she completed a series of
ground-breaking covers for the China-based design and arts magazine Vision.
Although then still a student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in
Beijing, the images she produced crashed the conservatism of China’s
media industry at the time and captured the spirit of creative
possibility that was driving a new generation of artists and designers. She then made eight covers for Vision and each image is based on an original studio shot that is digitally
enhanced in post production.
So, I said I Googled her right? Check out the stars she have worked with already!

But the thing I love about is her style, portraying female sexiness and how she mix post production works into her photographs. So bold, so edgy, so ahead of time!
