Ina Jang Ina Jangs Unique Visual Approach to Photography iGNANTcom

In an interview with Unseen, Jang describes her approach to photography as "playful, light-hearted and dreamy." In the same interview, she describes how many of her photographs are inspired by ideas which began in the form of drawings. One sees this close connection between drawing and photography in her photographs' compositions, which emphasize the images' two-dimensionality.
