Zhang Jingna — Artist Review

Zhang Jingna — Artist Review

Zhang Jingna or ‘Zemotion’ is an artist who I’ve been following for years. I originally found her on the popular art website ‘DeviantArt’ where she has become hugely popular. Since I started following her, she has not published two photos that looked alike. She has no one style, her photography style and post processing changes per shoot. He subject matter are mainly attractive and unique females of all nationalities but in vastly different settings from a wooded outdoors area to a club like setting to a cruise liner. She works in rivers, lakes, but especially the studio where she produces amazing works that have been seen in popular US magazines adversiting perfume.
My work does not compare to anything that she has ever done. Probably never will but I am inspired to try to mimic some of her techniques. Actually, I want to learn of how she became so diverse by reading what she has read and learning from who she learned from.

What is most inspiring about her works is how powerful her ‘personal’ photos are (click on ‘personal’ on the right hand side of her site). I can stare at these photos for hours and not figure out how she put the model in such a perfect position with dynamic, perfect lighting. The models never look uncomfortable even though they obviously are in some, that’s a sign of a professional model and a experienced photographer. Nothing repels me from her work. I don’t like some photos but respect them greatly for their unique style.
