“In college I studied film and theater, and worked at the campus newspaper as a photojournalist, so I still try to keep my work authentic using a journalist’s eye.”

On a trip to Europe in 2007, @konstruktivist (Jean Bai) found herself compulsively shooting with her first camera. Upon returning, she was inspired to explore the worlds of visual arts and storytelling, and continues to draw inspiration from film. In her photography, she is constantly drawn to different qualities of light and how they create an atmosphere and breathe life into a space. Jean was the First Place Winner of @americanphotographicartists 2020 Awards for Architecture/Interiors Photography.
