Miin-Shyong Tseng

Tseng was born in Chiayi City, Taiwan. He graduated from the graduate school of Visual Communication & Design at Asia University. He founded an audio studio in 1990, and was formerly a classical music programme radio presenter. He started to learn photography at the end of 1996 by himself. In 1999, Tseng was a victim of the 921 Earthquake Disaster that struck Taiwan which influenced his journey into photography. Serendipity then brought him and art critic Dr. Li-Fa Hsieh together, which then began his career in portrait photography. He went on to complete several portrait series such as “30 Artist Portraits in the Central Taiwan”, “20 Artist Portraits in "Chiayi”, “Face’s Talk”, “60 Musician Portraits”, and “Artist Portrait in Taitung” solely by himself.In addition, his series of works in “Face’s Talk” are not only of portrait photography, but also involve some of the most important people in different fields and industries, which has become indispensable data in the record of Taiwan’s modern history.

「Voice Inside」 and 「Here There」 are his works that are independent from portrait photography. Tseng has been photo-shooting a group of blind children, their families, and the relationships between them since 2010, in a collection known as “Little Light, Little More”. Aside from all the above mentioned topics, he continues to focus on the lives of common people with his lens to capture the culture of Taiwan. Some of these projects took several years to compile, whereas others have taken up to ten years or more.

Tseng was invited by Ju Ming, a master of wood-carving, in 2001 to shoot Ju’s artworks such as Taichi Arch. In 2007, Teseng traveled by himself to New Mexico, in the U.S, to seek out the footprints of Georgia Totto O’Keeffe. After he returned to Taiwan, the well-known photographer Chao-Tang Chang planned a photo exhibition for Tseng. Tseng also traveled to Europe by himself in 2015 and wandered over 6,000 km on a photo-journey.

Tseng has also been promoting the appreciation of art in the middle of Taiwan by planning and holding art seminars called “Talks in Taichung” since 2017.

In 2016, Tseng was awarded the “Taiwan Cultural Award” by the Dr. Lin Tsung-I Foundation.

In 2018, Tseng was invited by “Three Shadows” in China to host a workshop during the Jimei X Arles International Photo Festival.

In 2019, Tseng met the Great Terton, Ming-Chi Chiang, and due to this wondrous occasion he started his destined relationship with Tibetan cultural relics and hidden treasure.

He has been subsided three times for his works and publishing by the “National Culture and Arts Foundation”. Tseng has also been a judge for the “National Civil Officers Art Exhibition”, the “National College Photography Competition” as well as many other photography competitions.

Tseng’s works have been exhibited in the National History Museum, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Art Center in Jingyi University, Siberian State Museum of Art, Gallery Place M in Japan, Dali International Photography Exhibition in China, Pingyao International Photography Exhibition in China, and other galleries in Taiwan such as TIVAC and Jazz.

Tseng’s works have been collected by the National History Museum, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Ministry of Culture Art Bank, Art Center in Jingyi University, as well as other international, national and private collections.

Tseng has taught at National Taiwan Normal University, and at Asia University. He is currentlydevoting his time and focus to teaching photography and creation.
