Yu-Yu Demi Chen

New York-based Yu-Yu Demi Chen fell in love with photography as a young child exploring her father’s Taiwan photo studio. She has since developed her professional skills in a broad range of genres that includes portrait, event, and fine-art photography, in styles ranging from documentary to conceptual, all with an aesthetic shaped by her multicultural background. Also skilled with video and production, Chen earned her Master’s in Digital Photography from New York’s prestigious School of Visual Arts in 2022. Her most recent body of fine-art work, Irreversible, uses symbolism to create portraits and still lifes that capture the COVID-19 pandemic’s lasting psychological effects. This work was on display at Manhattan’s Soho Photo Gallery, SVA Gramercy Gallery, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York, and On The Road Image Space in Taiwan. Her other work has been presented at Kaohsiung Cultural Center, Kuo Mu Sheng Foundation Art Center, and Te Chun Gallery in Taiwan.
