All in the Golden Afternoon Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

Journey Gong is a Chinese American artist who conveys his poetic interpretations of cultural landscapes through photography. Born and raised in a factory town in Northwestern China, Gong moved to the United States as a young adult. The experience of this cultural shift has profoundly influenced his work. He not only appreciates the most celebrated, but also cherishes the often overlooked. Gong takes special interest in the drama and composition of his photographs, and the visual excitement of light, color and space. Guided by the creative writing process he developed during his academic training, his serialized photographs are concise and rich in emotion. From conceptualization to final image selection, he often dedicates years to perfecting a series. Based on a common theme, each image within a series can stand alone as a visual poem or contribute to a narrative when displayed collectively. Gong’s work has received accolades from the Fine Art Photography Awards, International Photo Awards, Independent Photographer Color Photography Awards, Tokyo International Foto Awards, and ND Awards. His series have been featured in The Christian Science Monitor Weekly Magazine, F-Stop Magazine, Broad Magazine, Musée Magazine, Sixth Finch, Dodho, L’Œil de la Photographie, We and the Color, and other publications. Gong resides in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, with his husband, Marc.
