Originally from Chengdu in China, Kiki Xue first studied mathematics before deciding to become a professional photographer. Since 2010, he has specialised in fashion photography and has naturally settled in Paris.

By collaborating with the biggest fashion magazines, he has created an indefinable and yet unique style where each photograph reveals the photographer's work on precise composition, staging and attention to detail. Far from considering fashion photography as a minor practice, the artist draws inspiration and stimulation from it to create fabulous art photographs. His series focus on the nude, portraits and traditional costume, with a growing interest in flowers.

Xue observes the effect of natural light and works with it to illuminate his works. Working with both digital and film cameras, Kiki Xue explores many different realms; the human body, still life, portraiture and fashion; creating profound detailed images, full of textures, emotion and vibrant colours.

Kiki Xue (Multi-lingual edition) offers an opportunity to explore the practice of this artist whose knowledge of art and its history infuses his work.
