In 1934 his brother arranged for him to study photography in Japan and on his return to Taiwan in 1936, he opened the Ying Xin Photography Studio on Taiyuan Road in Taipei City. Between 1942 and 1946, Chang traveled to Shanghai three times in the 1940s and documented the urban street scenes of Shanghai during that era. After the Chinese Nationalist government moved to Taiwan following their defeat in the Chinese Civil War, he was unable to return to Shanghai, and instead  took part in field survey of Taiwan’s indigenous people with anthropologists, and took a celebrated series of photos of the aborigines and Lanyu Island. </p> <p>Image 2: Condiment Shop (1943), Shanghai.
