About Artist

Yan Zhao

A photography artist with a Ph.D. in computer science specialized in computer graphics and geometric modeling. I worked for IBM Research and other high-tech companies in my early career, then moved to management consulting, as a chief architect in enterprise architecture. Photography is my new endeavor in recent years, which could be a natural extension from my hobby and talent in painting at younger age. My dancing experience may serve as another artistic spin. I like to catch the essence and soul of the objects that interest me and talk back in my language and expression. Photography is a way of communication between me and the world around me. Some of my work can be found in: https://1x.com/annyanzhao https://www.vogue.com/photovogue/photographers/359234 1x magazine: https://1x.com/magazine/permalink/9943 PiART: https://photoimaginart.com/profile/annyanzhao/portfolio
