What does photography mean to you?
Chen Man (CM) People always ask me that question. To me, photography is about sharing that precious split second with someone else. It could be an object, a scene or a moment of eternal togetherness; an ever-lasting moment.
What inspired you to become a photographer?
CM My father used to paint big advertisements. Back then, there was no printing or photography. Everything was done by hand. Watching him inspired me to learn how to paint. Then I dabbled in graphic design before finally settling on photography.
