Jeffrey Jin (b. 2003) is a queer, Chinese American photographer born and raised in the suburbs of Houston within the confines of a pious Chinese church community. Since taking their first Are You Gay? quiz at age twelve, religious faith has been supplanted with a devout interest in both analog and digital photography as tools to strengthen identity and preserve what’s most familiar: their family and queer friends of color. In doing so, their work unveils narratives surrounding upbringing, corporeality, and a deep affection for the physical and virtual landscapes they inhabit—from Texas' winding roads to the Internet’s deep caverns.
Their images have been featured in publications including Dazed, Far-NEAR, and Nowness Asia, and have been exhibited across Houston, New York City, and Shanghai. They are an alumnus of the Eddie Adams Workshop, a member of Diversify Photo, and hold a degree in Asian American Studies and Sociology from the University of Texas at Austin.
They are currently based in New York City and are available for commissions/assignments through email at hi@jeffreyjin.photo.
