Zhou Chengzhou was born in
Changde city (常德) in Hunan in December 1982. When Zhou was 7 years old his father taught him how to use a
film camera and produce sharper photos, sparking the start of his love of photography. He was only doing it for fun at the time and had no plans to make a career out of photography. He spent several years developing shoes after earning his degree in Chinese language and literature from
Peking University in 2005. But it was during this period that his love for photography was rekindled as he took over 200,000 images of the shoes to promote them online. This enhanced his photographic abilities. In 2015 he shifted more of his attention to photography, honing his skills through various experiences, including a stint on the set of a TV show and shooting at
Paris Fashion Week in 2016. He then officially became a photographer and embarked on a career behind the lens, shooting photos of giant engineering projects and high-speed rail infrastructure using drones. As his experience grew, he sought to break away from traditional photography concepts and develop his style. == Biography ==
