YANG LIU Runner-up, Editorial/Fashion
Born in 1985, Yang Liu was the assistant and producer for Chinese photographer, Zhun Chen from 2008 to 2013. Following this, Liu started his own studio in Beijing, working full-time and shooting for fashion magazines. An accidental fire in his studio in 2015 saw him lose everything. Not daunted by the experience, Lui produced a series of photos in the ruins and then set about refocusing on his career. He plans to open a studio in Melbourne at the end of 2017.
