Ina Jang (born 1982, South Korea) is a photographer based out of Brooklyn, New York.[2] She received her BFA in photography in 2010 from the School of the Visual Arts in New York City. In 2012, she completed the school's MPS program in fashion photography.[3][4] Ina Jang is represented by Foley Gallery.[1]

Photographs

In an interview with Unseen, Jang describes her approach to photography as "playful, light-hearted and dreamy."[5] 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.[5] Ina's work was featured in The New Yorker in 2018.[6]
