Jingli Wu was born in Zaozhuang, east China, in 1991. He discovered a preference for photography at an early age, beginning to take pictures when he was just eight years old. Taking photographs remained a hobby at first. It is only since 2015 that he is beginning to consider it as something more, and taking classes with the likes of Magnum photographers Olivia Arthur and Jacob Aue Sobol.
The LFI editors became aware of Jingli Wu through the LFI Gallery.
