As a Chinese photographer who living and studying in the UK - a transcultural environment, he intends to practice in-depth exploration about identity and culture, and express his ideas via photography, it's his self-exploration as well.
Xinnan would like to use photography to realize abstract concepts, his main research interest is documentary, which combines with his thinking of photography - what it could to; how could he use it as a mirror to reflect the truth. Xinnan always tries to develop and identify self-styled in his photographic projects. Based on searches and experiments in his study, he gradually develops a balance point between documentary and photographic art - bringing emotional, evocative works to the audience, which also motivate him to produce more creative works. Xinnan's experiment and practice are based on a wide range of photographic experiments, such as symbology and semiology, they are applied to works to unpackage and refine culture and identity, at the meanwhile, he would always attempt to experiment with different photographic mediums to explore the most appropriate form for his works. As a photography artist, Xinnan's practice range covers all kinds of cameras; lighting skills, and post-production skills, these practices and experiences are always inspiring him to perceive the potential and possibilities of his works.
