a short biography

Bio:

 Ting Shen is a freelance photographer based in Chicago. Born in 1989 to a small family of five in Taiwan, he came to the United States during an early age with his family, this experience established his strong emotional attachment to the American culture. In the mean time growing up in a Taiwanese family with traditional Chinese values gave him a parallel culture understanding and a unique perspective. With influence from American contemporary painter Edward Hopper and photographer Robert Frank, he is fascinated with the beauty of the rural parts of North America, the scene of remnants from the great westward expansion, and the true sprit of the American Dream. Beside his job with the campus newspaper’s photojournalistic work, his personal work focuses on documenting the human interaction with the surrounding natural environments, as well as portraits of the individual personalities. He is currently enrolled at Columbia College Chicago, majoring BFA in Photography.
