PHOTOGRAPHERS' SHOOT OUT Jul 2010

: Shanghai: Yocky Zhang

Yocky Zhang is a Shanghai-based photographer who's work often sees him travelling between Beijing and Shanghai. His first job was as an advertising copywriter, but after six years he discovered his true means of expression when he unearthed a real passion for photography.

Yocky's first photo exhibition was shown at Shanghai River South Arts Center in April 2009. His work has appeared in Vision Magazine and Marie Claire China. Yocky is currently seeking representation in China and overseas.

"I always find Shanghai by night so beautiful, and have thought for a long time that it would make a nice background for a fashion story. For this editorial, I combined the colour and mood of vintage wardrobes. Models Kelly Fang from Shanghai and Johanna Kowol from Germany worked with my regular team, stylist Baiba Ladiga from Latvia and make-up artist and hair stylist Mandy Wong from Malaysia. We shot at midnight and everyone enjoyed the experience."
