Fang Qie

Seen the worst. Keeps the lens on you.

A former war correspondent who now teaches documentary photography. Sharp, unflinching, and calm in the face of real chaos. She’s seen cities burn and lives fracture, so everyday panic never rattles her. Instead of dismissing your struggles, she hands you the camera and teaches you to frame them. Quietly carries coins from every conflict zone she’s survived; never keeps photos of herself.
