Combine the fashion photography and the documental photography.

My name is Chang Liu, aka cskylarc, born in 1993 and currently living in Chengdu, a southwest city in China. I lived in Spain for 6 years, graduated from Seville University majored in Tourist Organization in 2016. After that, I studied fashion photography in Fotodesign Barcelona for half a year.

Since I was 12, I was starting to watch 2-3 films every week, for me, photography is one of the best ways to express our inner moves, all my artist concepts of photography began from those films. When I was 15, I fell in love with documental photography and I’m just so obsessed with Magnum Photos as well. I choose to go to a private photography school to enrich my aesthetic sense, plus living at the most artistic street in Barcelona, there is no reason to let photography passing through our lives without being its part.

How will you describe your style in photography?

Simple, emotional and original.

This editorial is about the connection among humanity, earth, and the universe. The story is based on a young boy who is fascinated with in Astronomy. One normal night in his life, he had a dream that he was able to travel in the outer space. So this editorial is not just about planets but also related to natural elements of the earth like water, sands, flowers, and forest.

Never photograph for photography.

This editorial was inspired by a song named Hospital 01 by Sleeparchive. It was a summer afternoon, I was listening to techno lying on the bed with the extremely terrible (hot) weather, the rhythm and the concept of Hospital 01 made this editorial came up on my mind.

Actually, I worked a lot on those planets backgrounds, not only economic but also energetic. I went to NASA official web to make sure that I can use their photos for an editorial (no commercial using). I printed them in a textile factory, which is 40 km away from Barcelona. It was definitely a big mess for me when I was in an exam preparation. Then I was published on Fucking Young Magazine, which is a quite influential Magazine in Europe.

My plans for the future is keeping shooting themes that can really inspire me, I am planning to go to London this year and have some different experience with interesting people. Still, have to make various editorials for Magazines.
