How do you make a boring watch look exciting? It’s the kind of question that photographer Lo Cheuk-lun asks himself every day.

Lo is a commercial photographer in Shanghai and has been in the industry for almost 20 years. He is best known for his product shots that bring inanimate objects to life.

In this video, we challenged him to shoot something simple: a glass of water.

This is the first episode of our series #NoFilter, where we profile emerging photographers in China.
