Adam Hinton's latest photography series depicts Shanghai's aggressively productive capitalist society. Lovin' It takes the metropolis' fixation with commodity and consumerism and pits it against the more traditional communist China. Evoking a blend of nostalgia and progress, vivid colour prints capture the city's 21st-century rebirth, highlighting the subtle interchange between an ancient culture and a temporary, media-driven present.
