Ke's quest to produce one-of-a-kind selfies has taken her to many different places in the world. Photo provided to china daily.

“I was once doing a shoot in an old residential community and I heard constant laughter coming from a house. I felt like I was being mocked but I later discovered that the laughter came from people who were playing mahjong,” Ke said.

Some of the locations that Ke frequently practice at include secluded spots around the city such as garages, neighborhoods that are awaiting demolition and small parks. And no matter how hard it is to capture the perfect shot, Ke always declines for her portraits to be taken by others, saying that she needs her photos to be shot in the way she wants.

“Every person perceives the light and color presented in the frame in a different way,” she explained.
