Kiliii Yuyan

Photographer
U.S.A.

The world is a magical place, and how we as people interpret it, from joy to pain, mystery to clarity, begins today with photography. It’s my hope to see work in the Nikon Film and Photo Contest that challenges my prec-concieved notions, that shows me something I haven’t seen before, and draws me in. Don’t be afraid to show us your work- art is subjective and here is a chance to have a conversation with photographic peers!

Biography

Photographer Kiliii Yuyan illuminates the stories of lives bound to the land and sea. Informed by ancestry that is both Nanai/Hèzhé (East Asian Indigenous) and Chinese, he searches for human insight through different cultural perspectives. On assignment, he has survived a stalking polar bear, escaped pounding waves diving with sea otters, and found kinship at the edges of the world. Kiliii makes photographic stories for the pages of National Geographic and other major publications.
