Nancy Sheung (Chinese: 常惠珍; 1914–1979) was a Hong Kong photographer known for her bold lines and frequent focus on female subjects.
[1] In the late 1950s, the construction industry slowed down due to a sluggish economy, giving Sheung more time to focus on her photography.
[3] She is also known for her use of dynamic, bold lines; portraits of women; architectural eye; and images of life in Hong Kong.
Some of her most notable works include portraits of her daughter(s): The Pigtail,[i] The Long-Haired Girl[ii] and Staircase.
[iii] Other interesting works include Zigzag,[iv] Under the Cross,[v] The Shadows,[vi] and Drum Yard.
