ABOUT IRIS KUO

I am a high school student in Shanghai. I have taken photography courses in school for the past three years, where I have developed my technical skills and explored photography as a means of creative expression..

Photography is a way for me to capture how I see and understand the world. It documents my perspectives and experiences, while also communicating ideas and emotions to the viewers. My work often draws connections to my interest in environmental science and sustainability, as well as my personal identity. Ultimately, my work reflects my curiosity about the world and my desire to understand it more deeply. I hope to continue to use my lens to not only capture instances, but also to inspire viewers, to spark an emotional response for environmental action.
