Born in Shanxi, China, and currently based in Brooklyn, New York, Jinyu Cao has developed a practice that captures the quiet beauty of everyday life while exploring the deep connections between people and their environments. Jinyu Cao often utilizes analogue film to achieve evocative colors and a raw, honest atmosphere that balances intimacy with structured composition. Her work has been recognized internationally, with selections for Portrait of Britain, Vol. 7, and editorial features in publications such as Harper's BAZAAR Thailand. One of her most significant personal projects, "So Long My Land," reflects her commitment to visual storytelling and emotional sincerity. Jinyu Cao provides editorial and campaign photography, offering a visual style that is lived-in, honest, and timeless. By focusing on revealing moments, gestures, and stories rather than just faces or clothing, she creates imagery that quietly lingers. Her practice navigates the subtle edges of the everyday, finding poetry in ordinary scenes.
