Yaohua Zheng was born in Shanghai, China in 1962. He studied Chinese language at Shanghai Normal University where he received his Bachelor's degree in 1985. He has been working and living in New York City since 2003. Zheng's work has been focused on urban landscape; however, he has never considered this characteristic to be negative.
After spending a year in New York, 2004, four photographs from Zheng's Under Manhattan Bridge were selected to be included in a publication 28 MM: OFFLINE. In 2006, he was awarded first place honor in QMA Seven Train Photo Contest hosted by the Queens Museum of Art (New York). In November 2007, his latest photographic project On Their Sites: Nobody's History, which is paralleled to Joel Sternfeld's On This Site, was shown for the first time in a group exhibition Intimate Distance in New York. Zheng's contemplation of mundane things and average individuals spark his work.
