Majoring in urban planning, Xia (Summer) worked as an editor and editorial director of a Chinese architectural journal for ten years. Her passion for photography and architecture has brought her to the professional world of architectural photography.

     Summer founded Dingxia Photography in 2018, photographing cities, architecture, and interiors. Shen has won several local and international photo contests. Her works have been exhibited in various international exhibitions.

     From behind the lens, Summer helps clients to document their works, build a social network, and retell their stories from different platforms. Her works vary from wide shot angles that capture the whole mood of the created works to tight shot angles that focus on details and structures.

    When not busy, Summer spends time with her lovely dog sons Aden and Duoduo.
