Part of a photo series exploring China's beauty photography industry. Instagram and Facebook are blocked in China as part of government control but that doesn't stop the people from enjoying the art of photography. Huge themed studio's exist where the models can choose their outfits, hair, makeup and are put through an almost production line to achieve highly stylized images. Its proving very popular with the middle class and the industry growth rate is backing this up.

Portrait photographer based out of Zurich, Switzerland. Shooting commercially for a living but shooting personally for passion. Justin's love for the visual image has never diminished and he works tirelessly on new and intriguing projects that constantly push his photography in different directions.
