    Beijing, China (CNN)As China becomes


    increasingly important in the world of fashion, one
    photographer is leading the scene 35-year-old
    Beijing native Chen Man.
    Firmly established as the country's go-to fashion
    photographer, her work has featured across a range of
    leading publications, including Vogue, Elle, Harper's
    Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and i.D.
    Nor is her fame limited to within China.
    As well as shooting a veritable A-to-Z list of Chinese
    celebrities, international stars such as Sophie Marceau,
    Rihanna, Nicole Kidman and Victoria Beckham have

    also posed for her.


    CNN Style pays a visit to Chen Man's studio in downtown Beijing, as she prepares to shoot back-to-back
    spreads of China's leading lady Fan Bingbing (rated by Forbes as the world's fourth top-earning actress in
    2015), and glamorous Taiwanese screen siren Shu Qi.

    Eastern themes
    Chen's work is immediately identifiable. Highly-stylized through the use of modern post-production
    techniques, and incorporating a range of eastern themes and iconography, her shoots can be viewed as
    representative of a new aspirational China.
    During her meeting with CNN Style, Chen discusses the continuing influence of her childhood in Beijing, and
    how growing up in the city's hutongs -- the capital's historic tightly-woven neighborhoods -- during a time
    when food was sparse in the winter, neighbors lived in close quarters, and space was communal, has

    shaped her outlook on life.


    Like her peers, Chen has witnessed enormous change in Beijing, and has sought to document the profound
    effect those changes have had on her generation, known as the balinghou, or those born after the 1980s.
    Her craft has spanned the wide range of magazine covers, commercial shoots, fine art photography and
    extends to other modes of expression, such as her lesser-known traditional paintings.
    Next spring, Chen will hold an exhibition of these works and her photographs, at Tai Miao, an ancient temple
    in the Forbidden City.
