Fan Bingbing has served as muse/model for Chen Man in the past for
Dolce & Gabana and as
Bruce Lee. Here they collaborate for
i-D magazine.
Chen Man is known for doing all the work on an image, from the initial photograph through manipulation in Photoshop and 3-D rendering. She said that images altered by software create “a reality that we can control and perfect in the way we choose.”
