Ningxin Zhang (aka EV Zhang) is a London-based Chinese multidisciplinary artist skilled in photography, videography, and design. Her work specialises in Urban Anthropology and Travel Lifestyle.
Ningxin’s creative journey began as a travel vlogger, a path that led her across 4 continents and over 15 countries. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the serene landscapes of rural Africa, Zhang's travels have cultivated a profound appreciation for the kaleidoscope of human experience and cultural diversity.
Ningxin is fascinated by the lives of the unconventional individuals who exist beyond the boundaries of societal norms and constraints. Through projects like “Subterranean Souls: Portraits of London's Queer Underground” and “The Real Generation”, she celebrates their authenticity, resilience, and unapologetic self-expression.
Zhang is also drawn to the raw, real, and underexposed side of metropolitan cities. In “Homeless Republic,” she explores the unpolished realities of Los Angeles, highlighting the beauty and resilience found within marginalised communities. “Paradise Divided” contrasts the luxurious tourist destinations of the Bahamas with the struggles of the local residents. Through these projects, she emphasises the profound stories that lie beneath the surface of urban landscapes.
Ningxin’s work has been exhibited around the globe, from NYC to Seoul, Livorno to Bali.
