Chenxi Ni is a fine art photographer based in Buckinghamshire, UK, whose work thoughtfully explores the subtle interaction of light, color, texture, and form. His photography blends traditional techniques with modern digital enhancements, often requiring hours of patient observation in a single location as he waits for the right moment when these elements come together. His approach reflects a deep appreciation for capturing fleeting, harmonious moments, which he hopes allow viewers to see beauty in the everyday.

While Chenxi enjoys working outdoors, where natural light and textures inspire much of his work, he also spends time in his home studio experimenting with various projects. Here, he transforms ordinary objects into visually compelling images, using controlled lighting and composition to explore creative possibilities. This space gives him the freedom to explore new ideas and refine his technique in a more structured environment.

For Chenxi, photography is not just about documenting what he sees, but about encouraging others to look at familiar things from a fresh perspective. Whether working outdoors or in the studio, he is always striving to improve his craft, balancing technical skills with a personal artistic vision that continues to evolve. Though he approaches his work with humility, his dedication to the medium is evident in each image he creates.

Chenxi first picked up a camera in 2012 and began pursuing photography seriously in 2015. Since then, his passion for the art form has only deepened. He actively participates in photographic competitions, where he often pushes the boundaries of his creativity and technical skill. His involvement in these competitions not only challenges him to refine his craft but also allows him to connect with other photographers and enthusiasts who share his passion. In addition to competitions, Chenxi regularly showcases his work in local art exhibitions, where his unique approach to photography has gained admiration from both the public and his peers. These exhibitions provide him with the opportunity to present his latest projects, offering viewers a chance to engage with his evolving vision and style. Through these platforms, Chenxi continues to grow as an artist, while also contributing to the vibrant local art community.  

Chenxi draws inspiration from several contemporary photographers, including Fabian Oefner, whose ability to blend art and science offers a fresh perspective on the natural world, and Pep Ventosa, who is known for his unique technique of merging realism with abstraction. These artists have influenced Chenxi’s approach by encouraging him to experiment with different styles and push the boundaries of his own work. While he admires their creativity and innovation, Chenxi takes their techniques as inspiration rather than direct emulation, using their work as a starting point to develop his own vision. Their influence has helped him explore new perspectives and deepen his understanding of how photography can bridge the gap between reality and imagination, while still maintaining his personal style and approach.
