Jarod Lew is a Chinese American artist and photographer currently based in New Haven, Connecticut. His work explores themes of identity, community and displacement. One of his projects, Please Take Off Your Shoes was shortlisted for the Aperture Portfolio Prize in 2021, and is in a group exhibition at SFMOMA titled Kinship: Photography and Connection in 2023. Lew created a new body of work commissioned by Aperture in partnership with FUJIFILM in 2022. The resulting work, In between You and Your Shadow, examines his relationship with his mother and her past.

Lew’s work has been written about in Aperture, Artforum, and Elephant Magazine. His photographs are in the permanent collections at the Harvard Art Museum, University of Michigan Art Museum, Detroit Institute of Arts, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He has guest lectured at Stanford University and University of Michigan. He will receive his MFA from the Yale School of Art in 2024.
