Ying Chen

An essay about the work of contemporary photographer Ying Chen in the book Class of 2024: Future Visions of Photography.

Class of 2024 is a unique and deeply individual look into the future of photography, showcasing the work of ten students or recent graduates from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), USA.

Introduced in their own words, and illuminated by essays from established writers, curators and editors, their photographs cross genres – from portraits to landscape, fashion commissions to private projects, collages to film stills – and offer up ten very different yet equally compelling and imaginative ways of looking at the world today, in all its complexity.

Wilfully subjective and guided only by the strength of the creativity within its pages, this book, published to mark the 75th anniversary of publishing house Thames & Hudson, aims to capture a moment in time, support new talent and inspire lovers of photography, as Thames & Hudson has set out to do since it was first founded in 1949.
