 Ren Hang Ren Hang was a Chinese photographer, he is mostly known for his controversial nude photography. His strategy of completing a photoshoot is fairly simple, he meets up with people and gets to know them then discusses the style of photos that will be taken. If everyone agrees then the process will go smoothly but if the models are not comfortable or do not agree with what is going on, they stop completely.
