Bali Through the Lens: A Study of Beauty and Aesthetics in Kitty Zhao's Swimwear Photography

Bali Through the Lens? More Like Bali Through My Therapy Journal

Kitty Zhao’s 2016 Bali shoot isn’t just a photo series—it’s a full-blown existential crisis wrapped in golden-hour lighting.

Let’s be real: when you see someone nailing both classical pin-up poses and ukiyo-e head tilts without breaking a sweat? That’s not talent—that’s witchcraft.

And the technical control? Her use of negative space is so strong it could’ve been used to build a meditation retreat.

Honestly, I’d pay extra to rent this collection—like Netflix but with more emotional depth and zero subscription fees.

Photographer’s note: If you’re not using medium format by now… are you even trying?
