Chen Man 陈曼

Chen Man, born in 1980 in Beijing, studied graphic design and photography at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. She is China’s most innovative fashionphotographer and a leading figure of the ‘post‐80s’ generation of artists. Chen Man’s first covers for the influential magazine Vision in 2003 were immediately recognized for their originality, for Chen's artistry with a camera and for her technical mastery—all fused to create Chen's own unique photographic vision. Only in her early 20s, viewers were dazzled by the sophistication of those early, stunning photographic works.

Chen Man attends to all aspects of her craft including post‐production image creation utilizing such tools as 3‐D rendering. She has an extremely strong aesthetic eye that brings out the most in her subjects and models — many of which are prominent celebrities — and she consistently works with other creative talents such as famed make up artist Tony Li.

Chen Man created covers for Vision magazine from 2003‐2007. She is also a regular contributor to such publications as Vogue, Nylon, Esquire and Bazaar. In 2008, she participated in the “China Design Now” exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Her piece “Vision, image 12” was selected as the official visual for the exhibition. Also in 2008, Chen Man created a specially fabricated screen, composed of
giant photographs, for the “Demolition Party” — organized by Philippe Starck — at Le Royal Monceau in Paris. Only twenty international artists, considered to be amongst the most creative and original, were chosen to participate.
