Lin Zhipeng is a Chinese photographer. In 2003 he creates a blog called "North Latitude 223", that becomes very successful, where he shares images and short texts.

He has published many books including "Hidden Track" (Editions Bessard, 2016), "Sour Strawberries" (Editions Bessard, 2018), "Flowers and Fruits" (T&M Projects, 2019) and "Grand Amour" (Witty Books, 2020).
