His photograph expresses some social issues and phenomena that happen in society, something that he very well knows as a former wedding photographer. For him, photography is a medium for expressing himself and understanding himself further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I was first introduced to photography in 2014 as a wedding photographer and whilst I found the ability of photography to capture moments fascinating, I was frustrated by the overly standardised process required to produce commercially viable images. This undermined the authenticity of the event and made me rethink my understanding of the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2015, I switched to working as a fashion photography assistant and over the past three years, I have developed strong technical skills. However, I also observed the homogenisation and derivative nature of many Chinese fashion photography works. I felt marginalised when I tried to shoot from my own creative perspective. This experience, coupled with the fact that the Chinese education system and social environment do not encourage personal expression, compelled me to pursue postgraduate studies abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the University of the Arts London, I found my voice as an artist and established my research interest in the intersection of photography with psychology and therapy. My undergraduate and postgraduate studies equipped me with the technical skills of photography. And developed my ability to critically analyse the social and cultural contexts of artworks. For which I developed a deep understanding of the complex interplay between personal experience, philosophical ideals and creative expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially during my postgraduate studies, my understanding of photography has changed dramatically. From the past, when I was simply pursuing the external visual, to the present, when I value the intrinsic essence. Photography is not only a job for me but also a medium for me to express myself and understand myself. It is a medium for me to express myself and understand myself. I try to break through the limitations of fashion photography and find more possibilities for myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/angeljsanchez\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link external\"><i class=\"icon-instagram\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.angeljsanchez.com\/angeljsanchez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\"><i class=\"icon-globe-line\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/muse.international\/?p=27215\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charles Chao Wang is a fashion photographer whose inspiration comes from personal experiences, events and memories that have touched him in his life.
