He graduated in 1993 and returned to Hong Kong, beginning to work as a freelance cinematographer.[3] He focused on filming advertisements and music videos, including the music video for Andy Lau's "Practice", directed by .

Career

Early ventures and critical recognition (2004–2016)

Kwan was recommended by Daniel Yu to join the production of the 2004 Malaysian drama film Puteri Gunung Ledang, directed by Saw Teong Hin, which marked his feature film cinematographic debut. He made his Hong Kong feature film debut with the 2005 romance film All About Love, which was also directed by Daniel Yu and starring Andy Lau. Paul Fonoroff, writing for South China Morning Post, described Kwan's cinematography in All About Love as "truly breathtaking".[4] He went on to cinematograph the drama film My Mother Is a Belly Dancer, produced by Andy Lau, in the following year. In 2010, Kwan served as the cinematographer for Pang Ho-cheung's romantic comedy film Love in a Puff, starring Shawn Yue and Miriam Yeung. Russell Edwards of Variety praised the film's intimacy, which was achieved through the combination between Pang's helming and Kwan's lensing.[5] The film also marked the beginning of Kwan and Pang's close collaboration, with Pang describing that he thinks Kwan has a "keen-eyed observation of acting performances".[6] [7] The same year, Kwan shot the drama film co-directed by Yan Yan Mak and Clement Cheng, which earned him a nomination for Best Cinematography in the 30th Hong Kong Film Awards, as well as Raymond Yip's martial arts drama film Bruce Lee, My Brother. In 2012, Kwan returned to cinematograph the romantic comedy film Love in the Buff, the sequel to Love in a Puff, and another Pang's comedy film Vulgaria. He also served as the cinematographer for and 's action thriller film Cold War and Wong Jing's period drama film The Last Tycoon, receiving two nominations for Best Cinematography in the 32nd Hong Kong Film Awards with both projects.

Kwan went on to film the 2013 back-to-back horror films Tales from the Dark 1 and Tales from the Dark 2, as well as the 2014 disaster film As the Light Goes Out. He was once again nominated for Best Cinematography in the 33rd Hong Kong Film Awards for As the Light Goes Out, with Maggie Lee of Variety praising the film's "monumental sense of space" achieved through Kwan's wide-angle shots of the sets.[8] Kwan also cinematographed Pang's drama film Aberdeen in 2014. Richard Kuipers, writing for the Chicago Tribune, acknowledged Kwan's cinematography with his "beautifully composed widescreen images" in the film.[9] In 2015, Kwan participated in the sports comedy film Full Strike. He also served as the cinematographer for Helios, another crime thriller film co-directed by Leung and Luk, in the same year. James Marsh of Screen Daily praised Kwan's cinematography for capturing "the sheen and shadows of present-day Hong Kong" in Helios;[10] while Maggie Lee of Variety labelled Kwan's lensing as "solid", although occasionally featuring unnecessary and flashy aerial shots.[11] The following year, Kwan collaborated with Leung and Luk once again in the action thriller film Cold War 2, the sequel to the 2012 film, which earned him another nomination for Best Cinematography in the 36th Hong Kong Film Awards. Lan Tsu-wei, writing for Liberty Times, referred to Kwan as the key figure behind the scenes, whose ability to capture the actors' emotions enhanced the film's tension.[12]

Directorial debut and multi-faceted career (2017–present)

In 2017, Kwan made his directorial debut with the fantasy romance film A Nail Clipper Romance.[13] Starring Zhou Dongyu and Joseph Chang in lead roles, the film was adapted from Pang Ho-cheung's novella of the same name, with Pang also serving as the film's producer. Edmund Lee of South China Morning Post appreciated Kwan's development of a "vibrantly coloured" film with tones of both humour and sadness;[14] while Lau Ying-tsz of HK01 noted that Kwan infused fresh romantic elements with absurdity in his debut film, resulting in an innovative and uniquely chaotic vibe.[15] Kwan continued serving as the cinematographer for the drama film 29+1 and the Chinese fantasy action film Wu Kong. He also directed his second feature film in the same year, co-directing alongside Wong Jing and also serving as the cinematographer for the crime film Chasing the Dragon. Scott Clark of Starburst specifically commended Wong's choice of co-directing the film with Kwan as "a smart move", as it enhanced the film's visuals in terms of period details and action scenes through the camera work;[16] and Clarence Tsui of The Hollywood Reporter credited Kwan for the film's "lavish production design and strong camerawork".[17] Kwan won Best Cinematography in the 37th Hong Kong Film Awards with the film. The following year, he took on the role of cinematographer in Felix Chong's action film Project Gutenberg, for which he once again won Best Cinematography in the 38th Hong Kong Film Awards. Sarah Ward of Screen Daily described Kwan's cinematography in Project Gutenberg as "glossy, purposefully faded", providing the film "a suitably twisty but energetic sheen";[18] while Elizabeth Kerr of The Hollywood Reporter acknowledged Kwan's "meticulously washed-out images".[19]

In 2019, Kwan reprised his roles in , the standalone sequel of the 2017 film, co-directing with Wong Jing and co-cinematographing with Jimmy Kwok. Edmund Lee of the South China Morning Post offered a rather critical review, panning Kwan and Wong for missing the suspense and emotional tones of the film and steering the story towards "a familiar parade of shoot-outs and car chases";[20] Richard Kuipers, writing for Variety, also noted the film's lack of suspense but praised the "slickly shot" widescreen visuals. Kwan also shot the action thriller film in the same year, and co-cinematographed the 2022 comedy film Chilli Laugh Story with Alan Koo. He made his second solo directing effort with the action film I Did It My Way, featuring Andy Lau, Gordon Lam, and Eddie Peng, which was produced in 2022 and released theatrically in 2024.[21] [22] Kwan received another nomination for Best Cinematography in the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards, but the film was negatively received.[23] [24] Noel Wong stating in Free Malaysia Today that "as soon as bullets start flying, good camerawork goes out the window", criticising the plot, character motivations, and "stumbling" cinematography;[25] Edmund Lee of South China Morning Post bashed on the "foolish" visuals and the nonsensical script, which "turns the film into an unintended comedy"; while Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com noted that Kwan shifted his usual focus on actors to deliver a "formulaic cops-and-crooks plot".[26] Kwan also shot Nick Cheung's psychological horror film , which premiered at the Far East Film Festival in the same year.
