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.

"For me, photography is about capturing the moment and story telling. It isn't just about taking pretty pictures, it's a work of art. 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."

Currently he has shot for Shanghai Tang, Press Room Group, G.O.D., Arch Asia, West East Magazine and Kismet Magazine.
