He has sometimes stated that he feels the real nature of people through their naked bodies, and he doesn’t distinguish between genres when photographing. Besides, the inspiration comes to him when the camera is in his hands – that is, when working. Athens Love affirms Ren Hang’s habit of taking pictures of his friends, but in this occasion he does it in a setting as widely pictured as unknown: Greece. In particular, the cities of Athens and Attica during April 2015. There, between mountains, coasts and huge blooming cactus, Hang stops the time with his camera, capturing naked bodies in harmony with the natural environment around them. The result portrays the usual Ren Hang look, but with renewed sensations behind the snapshots.

The book –with a hard cover and A4 sized– has 68 pages in which the photographer takes the viewer with him on his personal trip; exuding good composition and colour, energy and freedom, and distance from China's censorship – not only physical, but visual too. You can attend the signing event at Dashwood Books on March 25.

This last work by Ren Hang will be released in New York's Klein Sun Gallery, on the occasion of the exhibition Athens Love, to be shown from the 24th of March to the 30th of April.
