them

Summary Zhang Jingna has been a positive influence on

the photography community, especially in Singapore.

She has become a ‘household’ name, as she has well deservedly made a name for herself throughout the years.

She has been a great source of inspiration for me, in terms of how she utilizes lighting and colouring in her photographs.
