Jingzi was born in Shanghai, living and working on four continents before making a home in the beautiful pacific northwest. She has been a professional photographer since 2005— photographing what she loves: people, dance, and stories.  

In 2011 and 2012, she lived in Argentina, where she was inspired by performing artists' passion and hard work. She shifted her work to the capture of dance and theater. She photographed theater and dance productions at the Teatro Regio and the Teatro San Martin in Buenos Aires. After returning to Oregon, she continued the pursuit of dance and theater photography through her work with many performing arts organizations in the greater Portland area.  

Her dance photography work has been featured in gallery exhibitions and acquisitions in Portland and Seattle. She is a 1st place category winner and a two-time grand prize finalist of the Pas De Deux Dance Photography Contests. She is also a proud recipient of multiple project grants from the Regional Arts and Cultural Council.  

Jingzi enjoys world travel, hiking, paddle boarding, and tango dancing.

Portland Center Stage is committed to identifying & interrupting instances of racism & all forms of oppression, through the principles of inclusion, diversity, equity, & accessibility (IDEA).
