Great work on her site.

Surprised no one else has commented on this, unless she's already been talked about extensively. She's new to me from this post. Amazing body of work for someone so young IMO. Seems like she has some deal with Fuji and uses the Fuij X100t. It doesn't hurt to be based in Hong Kong for street photography.

This was discussed here. She was featured pretty extensively on the web. I believe Magnum is going to sponsor her education.

Yes, she understands how to use light but her stuff looks staged, even when it is not.

She said she uses a Nikon D90 that she borrowed money to get.

I've never seen this before, it's very, very good. She has fantasy. It's alive.
