Gangfeng In Deepest China |

Wang Gangfeng's portraits of life have been published in his home country of China and abroad. These brilliant and emotive black and white photographs have been exhibited in Toronto, Beijing, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, where he currently resides. Born in 1956, Wang Gangfeng worked as both a farm laborer and violinist for a revolutionary orchestra. The gift of a Chinese-made camera from his sister altered the course of Gangfeng's life.
