Dan Chung’s career spans the disciplines of photojournalism and videography. Starting over two decades ago as a news photographer at a local newspaper, he later worked as a staff photojournalist at the Reuters news agency, and then at The Guardian. In 2006, Chan started shooting video on large broadcast cameras, but in 2008 he was quick to realize the potential of DSLRs and was the first person to shoot a news package on one. His early DSLR work, from events such as China’s 60th anniversary parade, gained millions of views.
Chan left The Guardian in 2013 to concentrate on video projects. His clients have included Oxfam, The British Council, CNN, NBC and Al Jazeera English, amongst others. In 2009 he started Newsshooter.com, a website devoted to the latest gadgets and techniques for the news and documentary shooter. Chan currently lives in China, and specializes in current affairs shooting for broadcast TV.
