Shina Tser-shiuan Peng (彭澤萱) is an environmental portrait photographer based in New York City and Tokyo. Currently she resides in Brooklyn. Her international upbringing as a Taiwanese American born and raised in Japan heavily impacts the themes she explores in her artwork. Through her work she questions society's definition of identity and attempts to understand her own background. She focuses on moments of the "in-between", the intersectionality, and the dichotomies that people exist in. Shina's work focuses on the beauty in the mundane. Her nostalgic narratives are unexperienced memories that romanticize the repetitions of daily life.


台湾系アメリカ人の家族の元に生まれ、幼少期は神戸にて過ごす。
18歳で渡米、ニューヨーク大学に入学。
2020年に東京へ拠点を移し、学位取得を経る。
以後写真家として本格的に活動を始める。

現在はニューヨーク・東京を拠点として活動をしている。
被写体はポートレイトとドキュメンタリーが多く、
アイデンティティーとインタナショナリズムに関するテーマを中心として制作活動を行っている。
記憶が染まった家族アルバムにあるスナップショットのような撮影方法を通し、
平凡な日常の美しさを描写している。
