A farmer-turned-artist has launched his first exhibition of nude photography in Guanhaiwei, Zhejiang province.

Lin Yin, 78, who also practices traditional Chinese medicine, has been taking the pictures since the 1980s. His work is now attracting spectators in the town after young fan Li Hui offered to host an exhibition in his caf.

Although many locals of his age regard his show as porn, Lin said he was proud of his art.
