Zhang Haier’s comments

He is an anomaly in the Chinese photography industry. He is internationally famous but does not pursue fame. He founded his own school but does not pretend to be a master. He defies authority with his works, but is extremely humble towards younger generations; Zhang Haier is a perfectionist in art. For him, art is everything in his life. Zhang Haier ignites himself with the hormone of the shutter, and also ignites others with his intense images. He is a "pioneer of contemporary urban photography" in the eyes of Gu Zheng, and Xiao Quan said, "Zhang Haier is an insurmountable wall"; he is also a flag in the Chinese photography industry, and has become China's " Che·Zhang Haier". He took pictures that "can never be finished in a lifetime", but never stopped his enthusiasm to continue shooting. In 2008, he showed amazing creative passion and achieved outstanding results in major film festivals.
