Although award-winning Tang Hui now couldn't imagine doing anything else as a career, his introduction to photography was not the most conventional. His first experience behind the lens was as an 18 year old soldier on duty during Sino-Vietnam war and one of his comrade-in-arms got a camera. All the soldiers were very excited to take pictures during the break. Unfortunately though, none of them knew even the basics of photographic processes, which resulted in unexpected consequences as he remembers: "At that time I had no concept of photography at all, so that when I'd finished dozens shoots, it seemed that the film roll was still not finished. Nobody knew why, so one of the soldiers opened the cover of the camera in the sunlight to find out the reason... and of course it was immediately overexposed, a big pity of my life!"
Undeterred, Tang went on to undertake rather better, and more comprehensive, training courses - the key, he believes, to his success - and he was inspired by his teacher, Xie Feng, to take up photography eventually as a full-time professional. Although he is now comfortable taking on any kind of photographic assignment, Tang has become best known for his commercial work and has built up an impressive portfolio of clients including Motorola, Nokia, Lenovo, IBM, Nestle, Audi, Canon, Samsung and Intel.
His current project, shooting a series of advertisements featuring sports stars, has been his most satisfying to date and he hopes that, going forward, he can focus more on expressing his creativity through sports photography. He experiences no compromise in quality or file size with his Hasselblad 503CW camera and H3D39 digital camera, which he uses for the majority of his shoots. "As a commercial photographer," he says, "I am very satisfied with both the quality of the Hasselblad images and the build quality of the cameras themselves. They are robust, easy-to-handle and extremely flexible for all sorts of projects."
While Tang is satisfied with his career achievements to date, he does regret the fact that the demands of his work have left him unable to spend time on any of the personal projects he‘d like to accomplish. He therefore hopes that by implementing his plan to take stylish, personalized photos and become a specialized photographer, he’ll also fulfil his dream of having more time to spend with his family and enjoy life generally.
