Valerie Chiang Captures the Consciousness in 'Walking on a Dream'

Valerie Chiang is an up-and-coming photographer from Raleigh, North Carolina. Her photos follow a simple composition, yet effectively convey a dreamy aesthetic.

Valerie's goal in photography is to "offer viewers an opportunity to stretch their imaginations and form their own stories from her photographs."

Although she has been shooting for less than two years, Valerie Chiang is creating quite the commotion in the photography world. You can view more of Valerie Chiang's work in the featured gallery
