Ma Liang / Maleonn

Ma Liang shoots intriguing set pieces that question our perception of reality and life’s many facets. He was one of China’s leading commercial directors before trading that life for photography. Since then, he has received international acclaim for his fantastical, albeit heavily edited works.

    the second pic looks exactly like a color version of the works of Robert and Shana Parkeharrison, too similar in fact!

    I think Ma Liang should exhibit his photos at the Norton Museum in Palm Beach, Florida.

    Maleonn is one of my favourite photographer. Recently he wrote a wonderful article about his postman series, and I think untill now it is the best contribute article on my web blog. He wrote exactly the kind of essay I was searching for: interesting and emotional, like his photographs. Here the link:
