In the Studio with Chung-Ping Cheng

What does a day in your art practice look like?

If I take pictures on location, such as a park or on the street, I will check the weather first. Is it good? Bad? Raining? Cloudy? When is sunrise or sundown? Then I pack my equipment. If it’s raining, I will bring the raincoat for myself and the cover for camera and lens.

What is your medium of choice? Why?

I do fine art photography, I shoot with film and print my work in the darkroom. I like traditional photography.

I like to create art to convey what I think and what I feel. I like to visit galleries and museums, to see how artists express themself through their art work. It’s interesting and authentic.
