My name is Zichun “Leslie” Xu, I was born and raised in China.

In 2019 I went to British Columbia, Canada, for high school. During my three years there, I found my hidden passion for creating visual art, and started my pursue of photography and becoming a photographer.

I am now here in Manhattan, New York, studying in School of Visual Arts, and hopefully one day becoming an independent photographer based in this city.

During my first year in the studies, I focused on the genre of street photography, which is personally my most passionate subject to photograph, and now, I am transitioning to other things, creating more diverse work.
