Yan Jin is a visual artist based in New York who works in photography, video, sculpture, and installations. She studied abroad in France as an exchange student, where she was influenced by a friend’s passion for photography. She now has three solo\/two-person exhibitions and plans to experiment with new practices and introduce her work to a wider audience in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Can you introduce yourself and talk about how you got into photography?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

My name is Yan Jin and I’m a visual artist based in New York. My work includes photography, video, sculpture, and installations. My career path did not initially lead me to art. While pursuing my undergraduate degree, I had the opportunity to study abroad in France as an exchange student for a semester. During my time there, I stayed with a close friend who was deeply passionate about photography, which greatly influenced me. I just had my first camera! When I came back, I started experimenting with film photography and exclusively used a Bronica sq-ai camera for five or six years, until it unfortunately broke down during a trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. Where did you study photography?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, I enrolled in the MFA program at the School of Visual Arts, specifically in the Department of Photography, Video, and Related Media, where I obtained my master’s degree and officially embarked on my career as an artist. The Art School provides an excellent environment for meeting instructors and mentors, many of whom are renowned artists and critics. Their feedback is often insightful direct, and constructive. Their opinions are of great value to me. In addition, they offer recommended reading lists and introduce inspiring artists. My main source of art resources has been the school itself, including lectures and salons organized by the institution, as well as departmental art exhibitions that serve as a rehearsal for future exhibitions. These opportunities allow for trial and error and provide valuable experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Do you remember your first shot? What was it?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I don’t remember the first one actually, but it should have been done with a point-and-shoot camera back then. I didn’t realize it was the beginning of everything otherwise I probably would made a note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What equipment do you use?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I use Canon Series, 6D, 5D Mark iii, and iv, and for video, I use Canon C200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. What do you hope to achieve?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I just had three solo\/two-person exhibitions in 2023. I hope I have the opportunity to have more exhibitions and shows and introduce my work to a wider audience. I would like to start another body of photographic work in 2024 experiment with new practices and enjoy myself while doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q6. What compliment inspired\/touched you the most?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I love being at the opening of my show and getting comments and feedback from the audience. I’m very grateful. I can tell every time they connect or relate to my work and that to me is the meaning of the artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
