maleonn
Just picked this up off 8 Days, which is a free Shanghai mag you can get off lotsa clubs and eateries all over the city and has similar content online as well to keep you up to date with the latest ins & outs.
maleonn is a Shanghai born artist/director/photographer who shoots in b&w then adds color later. He creates these surreal story style series of photos and he's got a brilliant sense of contemporary color. Plenty use of props all over his photos in the form of masks, balloons, rabbits... I love the strangeness and feel to the photos that he adds on, which you can't otherwise get just shooting photos.
Granted he isn't a pure photographer, he still is a damn good one and other than the altered series, he also shot a lot of good portraits and stuff. Worth checking out. I particularly like "The trek". Which has its cover photo picked up by 8 Days as well.
