Chin San Long, also known as Lang Jingshan, was a pioneering Chinese photographer. Considered as "the most prominent figure in the history of Chinese art photography" and the "Father of Asian Photography", Long was born in China and moved to Taiwan in 1949. He was known for his innovative darkroom techniques, particularly his signature "composite photography" in which he overlaid negatives to create realistic composition, often with figures or animals in dramatic landscape settings. He was also the first Chinese photographer to take artistic nude photos. In 1960s, he started specialized in "poetry" landscape photography composed with figures. Many of his work were influenced by the ink paintings of his friend Zhang Daqian, showcasing an aesthetic ambience infused with Chinese literati ideal that was widely expressed in poetry, philosophy and even religion such as Taoism.
