Li Hui is a Chinese photographer
whose work captures moments of intimacy. However, these are moments that most
of us don't notice - fingers suggestively placed in ripe fruit and flawless
leaves, the buttocks of a teenager exposed to sunlight, limbs fleetingly
embraced against a background of rumbling sheets, bodies visible through
steaming shower doors. She graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in
2003 but started working in photography after receiving her first silver camera
in 2009. Self-taught and eager to understand the field and learn more about it,
the artist emphasizes experimentation, believing that it inspires creativity.
Li Hui lives and works in Shanghai.
