Now an award-winning professional photographer (producing fashion editorials for Harper's Bazaar, Elle and more), Zhang Jingna used to rep Singapore shooting a different device — an air rifle.
The Beijing-born 28-year-old moved to Singapore when she was eight and started developing her skills as an air rifle shooter in Raffles Girls' School. Soon, she was breaking national records and joining the national team, where she remained active for six years. Medals were won in events, and she was even awarded Sports Girl of the Year in 2006 — but she chose a career in the arts later on, achieving further success in the medium of photography.
