A Beijing shutterbug captures Denmark's fairy-tale quality

Before Beijing-based artist Liu Jin, 45, started a photography residency program in Denmark last summer, his impressions of the country came from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales.

So, he used this as inspiration during his residency program.

"I don't think that Andersen's works are exclusively for children. Rather, there are metaphors and satires which reveal reality and truth," he says.
