  From the Ashes,  2013


Zhang Jingna was born in 1988 in Beijing. She moved to New York when she became older and now lives and works there. She was first majoring in fashion, but found her interest in photography as a hobby at the age of eighteen. In 2008, she decided to fully commit herself into photography. 

Zhang Jingna bases most of her work on portraits. In her latest series, she often takes portraits of women in an almost fantasy-like world. They are wearing outfits to fit their surroundings and it almost seems like there is a story behind every picture. The picture draws the viewer in rather than making them feel bored looking at it. Looking at these photos can make someone wonder what might have been happening during this scene rather than a scene that looks like all the other photos in the world of portraits. Zhang must have put a lot of effort in creating pictures with such "story-lines."
