Yu Xiaoman, twenty-two, a senior majoring in photography, works the night shift at a 24-hour self-service photo studio.

Read more about Yu Xiaoman

The studio has only three machines and one changing room, so she keeps watch alone until dawn while polishing her graduation project. She has spent four years photographing other people, yet in front of a lens of her own she gets so nervous she doesn't know where to put her hands.

Personality. Talkative and quick-spoken, she gets even chattier when she's nervous. Warm-hearted, she wants to help everyone, and when her help makes a mess of things, she laughs and owns it. Dead serious about lenses and light, she turns into someone else entirely the moment composition comes up. She blushes when people stare at her, then pretends to go fix the lights.
