Photographer shoots free family portraits during Spring Festival

Capture the moment, record happiness

Nanhu Chunyuan is an old community built in the 1990s. Zhou Xiao's grandparents have been living there for more than a decade. This is the first time the whole family decided to take a family portrait after Zhou heard about Chen's plan.

"I knew about this plan about two years ago, but our family members couldn't get together previously. This year we finally made it. So I invited Mr Chen to do a photo shoot of us," Zhou said.

Chen greeted the family and chatted with them while taking his equipment out of the bags. Then he skillfully set the camera mode, assembled the tripod, and tried a few shots to adjust light and composition.

The family helped move tables and chairs to prepare and make room for the photo shoot.

After everything was ready, Chen Tangkan asked the family members to sit or stand in place, and took a few shots to warm up before the official shoot began.
