Bio: Saul Gallery
Born in Taiwan, 1977. Jeff Liao grew up in Taiwan and moved to Canada to attend high school. He relocated to his current home of New York City to complete his undergraduate degree at Pratt and receive his MFA at the School of Visual Arts. Liao is well-known for his large-scale panoramic photos that capture magnificent details of the urban and social environment of New York City.
Liao's first major and best known project is his Habitat 7 series, which won the first ever New York Times Magazine "Capture the Times" photography contest in 2005. In this project, Liao shot with a large format camera to create large-scale, color panoramic images of the ethnic communities that have grown around the IRT 7 train in Queens, New York. Using multiple exposures created in the same location and taken over the course of several hours, Liao constructed a compelling project that transcends the limits of documentary photography. This series reveals Liao's intensely personal journey through the borough of Queens, evident in the diverse range of subjectivities throughout his photographs.
