Fenqiang Liu began studying drawing while attending middle school in China. During college, he took an interest in photography. After finishing his BA degree in Chinese literature, Fenqiang worked as a cameraman for geographic educational videos. He later came to the United States to obtain his MFA in Cinema and Photography at Southern Illinois University. After graduation, Fenqiang worked as a computer animator and motion graphic designer. He and his wife later opened a business that provides behavior analysis services for children with autism.
In recent years, Fenqiang has been devoting his time to wildlife and nature photography. While capturing the beautiful moments of wildlife, he also includes their living environment in the picture and uses the surrounding natural scenery to help him achieve better composition. Fenqiang has been awarded in multiple international photography contests. He is one of the 2022 All About Photo Awards winners. He has received a 1st Prize at the Fine Art Photography Awards 2022, 1st Place at the Chromatic Awards 2021, Nature Discovery of the Year and 1st Place at the Monochrome Awards 2021, Category Winner of the Year, Platinum and Gold Winner at the Muse Photography Awards 2022, Platinum and Gold Winner at the London Photography Awards 2022, “Best in Competition” at the FMoPA International Photography Competition 2022, 2nd Place at the 2021 Int'l Photography Awards. His works were selected by the 2022 Chelsea International Photography Competition and will be shown in the Competition Exhibition in Agora Gallery in New York. He has also been chosen as a finalist for the 2022 Open Call: CARTE BLANCHE, B/W Category by Lucie Foundation. His work is one of the 10 Editor's Picks at The Independent Photographer's February 2022 Black & White Photo Awards.
