Four things you need to know about Beijing photographer REN HANG:

1. His work consistently captures the feelings and imagery of emerging youth culture in China
2. Most of his models are his good friends who trust him and enjoy having their pictures taken
3. About sex and nudity: “There is absolutely no deeper meaning in my pictures, or at least there’s nothing really serious in them. I just love genitals and I will never take on wicked thoughts while photographing them. I just want to show a different side…and I’m really passionate about the genitals of my lover” – REN HANG for Lodown #73
4. Needless to say, he was officially banned from every gallery in Beijing
