Ching-Wei Jiang continues working on his series of color photographs. Attracted to the eerie stillness after a storm, he carefully chooses to document the subject matter after moments of overwhelming power and agitation. These storms are implied in his photographs of the peaceful aftermaths. Photographing at all times of day and night, the odd colors and absence of people add a sense of mystery to his images.

He states, "I have tried to capture images in daylight with the same style I have in my night photographs. Being a dawn/day/dusk/night/24 hour photographer, I feel that my photos tell a story of the innermost part of who I am."

Born and raised in New York, Jiang currently resides in Berkeley, California. He has exhibited his work at the Queens Art & Education Center in Flushing, NY, and is a recipient of the Theresa McCabe Ralston Connor Award in 2000.
