I’m Chaoqun PAN, a photographer and curator based in Paris and Hangzhou.

I graduated from Magnum Photos’ Creative Documentary and Photojournalism program, was the contracted photographer with ZEISS in China, and also served as a guest lecturer in photographic arts at l'ECV, a French art school. 

My main focus is on landscape photography and creative documentary photography. I specialize in artistic expression through poetic imagery and long-term personal projects.

I am also the creator and host of "Photo Reason," the leading Chinese-language photography podcast with a global audience.

My work is currently represented by The Muisca Gallery located in the Marais, Paris.
