Introduction
Graduated from the Department of Mass Communication in 2005. Since she was a child, Brenda Yin has always had a keen passion for the visual arts. What initially began as an uncomplicated enjoyment of drawing and painting, progressively built into an enchantment with photography, video and filmmaking. Incorporated into the visualization of her photography, one can find an appreciation, and even an obsession, for industrial, graphic, fashion and interior design.
Inspiration for Brenda Yin’s art emerges from a thoughtful examination of broadcast and digital media. Like many, film, music and television, and all forms of internet and mobile communication are the impulses. However, far beyond the ordinary, Brenda Yin’s photography is contemplative, reflective and introspective. Even in her observations of people and their everyday interactions,Brenda Yin is able to cleverly and uniquely focus on the eccentricities and peculiarities of life.
Susan Sontag’s writings provide perhaps the greatest influence for Brenda Yin’s approach to photography. Sontag said that “[l]ife is not significant details, illuminated by flash, fixed forever. Photographs are.”
In her own art, Brenda Yin has embraced this philosophy.
2005年畢業於大眾傳播學系。Brenda從小就對視覺藝術充滿熱情。最初是對繪畫和享受繪畫的過程，逐漸成為對攝影、影片和電影製作的迷戀。融入她的攝影作品，人們可以找到對工業、平面、時尚和室內設計的欣賞，甚至是癡迷。
Brenda的藝術靈感源自對廣播和數字媒體的深思熟慮。像許多人一樣，電影、音樂和電視以及所有形式的互聯網和移動通信都是衝動。然而，Brenda的攝影遠超普通，它是沉思、反思和內省的。即使在她對人們及其日常互動的觀察中，Brenda也能夠巧妙而獨特地關注生活的古怪和特殊性。
蘇珊·桑塔格的作品可能對 Brenda的攝影方法產生了最大的影響。
桑塔格說：“生活不是重要的細節，被閃光燈照亮，永遠固定。照片是。”
在她自己的藝術中，Brenda Yin 接受了這種哲學。
