Artist Statement

Steven Xiao is a photographer whose work merges staged and documentary photography, crafting evocative narratives that explore identity, cultural symbolism, and social norms. Often focusing on the female form, he examines themes of desire, power, and representation. Trained in the U.S. and mentored by Taiwanese photographer Juan I-Jong, Xiao draws from humanistic documentary traditions while incorporating surreal, meticulously composed scenes. His use of dramatic lighting and carefully arranged elements blurs the line between reality and fiction, creating an atmosphere of mystery and tension. Through his striking visual storytelling, Xiao challenges conventional perspectives, prompting deeper reflections on contemporary life. His work has been exhibited and published internationally, earning recognition for its compelling synthesis of meaning and form.

Xiao’s photography has received numerous international accolades, including the Photographer of the Year at the 2016 IPA China Awards (4 Gold, 2 Silver, 1 Bronze), selection as a Finalist in the LensCulture HOME’21 International Photo Prize, and multiple honours from PSA and FIAP international exhibitions.
