Jin Ting

Jin Ting, born in Yining, Xinjiang, is currently based in Shanghai. As a photographer, Jin Ting is dedicated to reflecting the changes of the times through his works. By capturing different landscapes, he presents certain memories at the turning points of the era and uses them as a bridge to the future. When Jin Ting was one year old, he returned to his ancestral hometown of Wenling, Zhejiang, with his grandmother and lived there until he graduated from junior high school. The memories of his childhood, especially the local mountains and rivers, have influenced his later creations. 

In his view, whether it's the small discarded objects in daily life or the remnants of the industrial age, he hopes to give them meaning through his lens. Jin Ting began using infrared photography techniques in 2012 to create a surreal atmosphere. Since 2013, his works have been selected for various exhibitions, including the China International Photography Art Exhibition, Shanghai International Photography Art Exhibition, and Shanghai Photography Art Exhibition. In 2018, he was honored with the Top Ten Images Award by "Popular Photography" magazine. 

In 2020, his series "Remnants of Time" won the Grand Prize at the Pingyao International Photography Festival in China. His thematic works have been exhibited at professional platforms such as Photofairs New York in the United States, the Venice Biennale in Italy, the China-UK Photography Art Exchange Exhibition at Moggerhanger Park in the UK, F200 Art Space in Berlin, the Seoul International Photography Festival in South Korea, the Pingyao International Photography Festival in China, the Phoenix Folk Photography Biennale in China, the Shanghai International Photography Festival, the Beijing International Photography Week, the Chang'an International Photography Week in China, the Dali International Photography Festival, the Lishui Photography Festival, and the Pengzhen Photography Week in Sichuan, among others.
