Here’s a focus on three of the readers’ favourite discoveries, presented last January on Fisheye’s website: Guoman Liao, Valya Lee and Bryan Schutmaat.
1. Guoman Liao
“I am inspired by the arts: painting, music, sculpture and even cinema”,
Guoman Liao tells us. Fascinated by the process of creation, the photographer likes to experiment. From fashion to documentary, to conceptual photography, the media has become a way to channel his vivid imagination.

2. Valya Lee
In 2018, Russian photographer Valya Lee posed as a party girl for two months, in a Chinese karaoke club. She captured her immersion in a chilling report, entitled Katyusha. In the Mood for Love.
