Zili Zhang is an internationally awarded photographer based in Greenwich, CT. He was named Conceptual Photographer of the Year by Exposure One, and received Gold from both the 1839 Awards and ND Magazine. His work has also been recognized by the Smithsonian, Paris Photo Prize, Tokyo International Foto Awards, International Photography Awards, Fine Art Photography Awards, reFocus, Chromatic, and more. Zhang frequently exhibits at art festivals, cultural centers, and commercial galleries. His work has attracted collectors worldwide, particularly across the United States—from New York and Philadelphia to California and Florida. Zhang’s work seeks quiet conversation through a minimalist approach. Geometry, motion, and color all serve to evoke a sense of inner peace and serenity. He believes timelessness lies behind every decisive moment, and that photography is not confined to location, but to seek something universal. Aiming to transform ordinaries into poetry, Zhang challenges the medium to transcend its traditional limits, embracing it not only as a tool for capturing reality but as a powerful means of artistic expression.
