  • Zhang Jingna is a photographer known widely on DeviantART as zemotion. Born in the suburbs of Beijing to a sporting family, Jingna moved to Singapore at the age of eight, where she attended Haig Girls' School. At the age of fourteen, nine months after picking up air rifle, Jingna broke a national record, and subsequently joined the national air rifle team. She was active in the team for six years, notable achievements include breaking a record in the 10m Air Rifle event at the Commonwealth Shooting Championships 2005 in Melbourne, and a bronze in the same event at the Commonwealth Games in 2006, awarding her the title of Sports Girl of the Year for 2006 by the Singapore National Olympic Council. She left the prestigious Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) at the age of sixteen to pursue a degree in fashion design in LASALLE College of the Arts. At eighteen, Jingna picked up a camera. Probably due to her keen interest and achievements in photography at an early age, she left LASALLE in October 2007, and the rifle team in January 2008, to pursue photography full time. Within six months of her professional photography career, Jingna has worked with companies such as Mercedes Benz, Pond's, Ogilvy & Mather Advertising, Wacom and Architecture International. She has also produced fashion editorials for magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and L'Officiel. In September 2008, Jingna held her first solo exhibition "Something Beautiful" at The Arts House in Singapore. In November, the same year, she was invited to show her works at Klee Bar, also curated by The Arts House. With works described as being ethereal, romantic and sensuous - Jingna's images exude a quiet and steady confidence with maturity belying her age. She's influenced by people such as Peter Lindbergh, John William Waterhouse and Yoshitaka Amano. Jingna also cites her friend Kuang Hong, a fellow artist whom she had managed since the age of fifteen, in numerous interviews, as one of the influences and foundations of her artistic development.
