Note: This third feature is to make up for missing one of the field trips.
Zhang Jingna is another photographer I found on an artist website. Her photography is distinctly romantic and portrays the models in a very feminine way. She is originally from Beijing, but she moved to Singapore while still a child. She originally went to school for fashion design, but she found that photography was her true passion and left school. She was only 20 when she shot her first major campaign and is the youngest recipient of the Fellowship in the Master Photographers Association in the UK. She now lives in Los Angeles and works professionally.
Her photography and her story really speak to me. She left school to pursue what she really was passionate about, and she was successful at it at such a young age. It is truly inspirational. Her work is just gorgeous makes her models looks sensuous but strong, even angelic. Some of her photos seem to be straight out of a romantic-era painting. Her fashion photography is just as ethereal, but her advertising work is a little stronger, while still being feminine.
Zhang Jingna often edits her photos with low color contrast to enhance the delicate feel, although some still feature bold colors. She also uses black and white effectively. In all her photos, the models’ beauty and the beauty of her clothes or sometimes environment all serve to enhance that. The backgrounds are often out of focus to give the photo a softer feel.
