  • Description

    Chen Man is a Beijing-based photographer and artist whose hyper-stylized, futuristic images helped define the look of Chinese fashion media. Born in 1980 and raised in Beijing, she studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

    She began her career in 2003 shooting covers for Vision magazine and went on to shoot covers for the Chinese editions of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Elle. Her 2004 work "The Astronaut" was shown in the Victoria and Albert Museum's 2008 exhibition China Design Now and entered the museum's collection. In 2015 she photographed Rihanna for Harper's Bazaar China and became the first photographer to appear on the magazine's cover.

    Her work has been exhibited in Paris, Moscow, Tokyo, London, Hong Kong and Beijing, including a solo show at Tokyo's Diesel Art Gallery in 2012 and "Flash: Chen Man," a 2021 survey of 75 works at the Xie Zilong Image Art Museum in Changsha. In 2024 she presented the exhibition "SAME" at the Shenzhen Art Museum. Her commercial work has included collaborations with M·A·C, Shiseido, Gucci and Adidas.
