Profile and About EARL WAN PHOTOGRAPHY

Introduction

Earl was born in Yorkshire, England. His mother who was a seamstress proved influential in honing his eye for detail, taking photos and drawing pictures of things of interest from still life to people. His deep passion for art developed from a young age which lead his interest into photography, picking up the camera at the tender age of fourteen, after his father gave him his first SLR for his birthday.

In 2005, Earl graduated at Manchester Metropolitan University with BA(Hons) Illustration with Animation.

Shortly after graduation, he went to work for a portrait studio in Manchester before deciding to travel. Hong Kong was his first destination, which is where he is currently based now. He has worked at a local studio and assisted a few fashion photographers before venturing into a freelance career on his own in taking portraits and fashion. He strives to use his artistic license to bring fashion photography to another level.

In a short space of time, Earl has had work appear in China Vogue and Hong Kong's Prestige Magazine, Cathay Pacific Magazine, Glass Magazine from the UK, Cuisine Magazine from New Zealand and Kismet Magazine from New York. He has also worked with some of Hong Kong top brands like Shanghai Tang and G.O.D. and the French label, Ab-Irato. Recently, he’s has shot an editorial for HK Tatler and two HK pop star Det and Barry Yip’s album cover. Also, he is currently collaborating with Hong Kong’s top fashion designer, Barney Cheng, in a fund raising project for Cross Roads Foundation, which features Barney Cheng’s couture designs selected from over 15 years of work.

Earl states, “Photography is about capturing the moment and story telling. It isn’t about taking pretty pictures with the latest, most expensive equipment. A camera is just a tool which helps me create art pieces. There's nothing more satisfying than to produce a piece that can stop people in their tracks, making them look twice and think about the piece, leaving an everlasting impression in their minds."
