[Artist Name & School] Sophia Adalaine Zhou Washtenaw Community College [Media Type] Photography [Artist Biography] 
Sophia Adalaine Zhou is a self-taught visual artist, specializing in fine art photography. She has a Bachelor’s of Science in Architecture and is finishing her Associate Degree in Graphic Design. Due to her training in various fields, she thrives in the intersection of traditional experimentation, digital tools, and aesthetic intuition, and considers digital photography as the most natural way for her to express many of her ideas and feelings, particularly with conceptual and emotional portraiture. With photography, she finds her greatest freedom in using the intuitive realism of a photograph to create surreal and hyperreal images that show her stories. Her work often combines surreality, serenity, and the solace found in natural solitude, giving the viewer a strange sense of peace when gazing upon her images. Her unconventional use of human faces and forms reflects her belief that the familiarity of one’s humanity can be used to help connect with the unfamiliar, thus capturing fleeting moments of transcendence. www.sophiaazhou.com
