More sharp, strange work from Qiu Yang for T Magazine China

As editorial photography goes they don’t come much sharper or stranger than Qiu Yang, the image-maker who has been executing the strangest of situations with the cleanest of finishes for some years now. It seems this precise combination of bizarre but beautiful is working wonders for Qiu – echoing the carefully constructed still-life compositions of Dutch Renaissance artwork, he has clocked up a client list including Vogue, The Gentlewoman, Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin and several series for KENZO.

This newest series is for the inaugural issue of T Magazine China, and sees him toy with the abstract side of accessories through papercuts, shaking the stripes off a Céline tote and playing with two-dimensional objects as though the magazine had dropped straight out of a minimal version of Alice’s Wonderland.
