Shuran Huang 黃舒然 (she/her) is a Cantonese photographer based in Washington, D.C. Through moments of intimacy, her work focuses on politics, immigration, human rights, diaspora experiences, and interactions in between. Besides English, she speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, and Spanish.
Born in a small Hakka village, Rénhuá in China, Shuran is the daughter of a translator mother and an epidemiologist father. Over the years, she watched her father save lives from pandemics in countries that couldn’t provide medical care and her mother commit herself to connecting cultures through languages. Their community service helped Shuran understand the meaning of commitment, developing in her a passion for humanity and unity. Shuran has lived in mostly diverse yet disadvantaged communities in eight countries. She often confronted the reality of assimilating and adapting to new communities, developing in her a dedication to elevating and empowering communities through visual storytelling.
