Drawing on her experience as an award-winning photojournalist, Zhao Jing blends documentary-type realism with a reflective and nuanced sensibility in her fine art photography. Upon returning from the frontline of journalism, she began to explore a new visual territory: one that mixes tranquility and analysis as parallels to eastern and western culture. Her current projects are related to Chinese cultural anthropology, including “Cathay”, a photographic interpretation of historic Chinese poetry and its English translation by American poet Ezra Pound.
