About Z.T.N.
Zuotian works primarily with film photography.
His early work was mostly in black and white, though he has gradually shifted toward color. An avid reader of photobooks, he draws inspiration from many photographers, with HCB, Saul Leiter, Fred Herzog, and Luigi Ghirri among his favourites so far. His favourite photography quote is Diane Arbus’s: “A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you, the less you know.”
