Yijing Yang

In 2022, I undertook the creation of four distinct fashion photography series, garnering recognition from numerous domestic and international magazines, including a feature on the cover of Selin Magazine. I have a penchant for capturing images with a slow shutter speed, creating a sense of haziness, distortion, or intentional overexposure, showcasing a fascination with the complexities not easily revealed in the real world.


During my time at the Royal College of Art (RCA), I learned to transcend the aesthetics of photography and challenged myself to contemplate more intricate visual concepts. I believe these images reflect broader societal issues, including the portrayal of mental health through the media. Photography, in my view, is an irreplaceable medium filled with emotion and warmth—a means of immortalizing moments in a way that transcends the temporal. I enjoy using different mediums and lighting techniques to convey emotions that are difficult to articulate in language.


My work aims to express intimacy and warmth between individuals through photographs. This artistic pursuit propels me to continually explore and challenge traditional photographic expressions, seeking to create more profound and thought-provoking visual experiences.
