Maleonn Ma, born in 1972, is a Chinese photographer & creative director from Shanghai. He began a career as commercial director a little over 10 years ago and since has gone on to be known for photographing naked Chinese men in strange way.
The photos I feature here are some I find very different and unique in a circus sort of way. I really love how Maleonn stages all of these shots that really take me back to an alternate reality filled with artsy and beautiful things. Below is a quote from a Maleonn's website (a quote from
Faust).
Mephisto said: you can only shape yourself by your own action. You must keep on creating. Only during the creation, the model of the mysterious beauty would recur. Everything has to start from nothing, from listening to the rhythmical sound in the darkness… You won’t be able to be God of endless spiritual experience. The attracting mind, the saddest appreciation, the obsessed abhorrence, the pleasant disgust, all won’t be able to change you. You'll finally find out: what you are will eventually be what you are...
