Sixteen Stories From Around the World

Eight cities. Sixteen stories. One unfolding journey.

I made Fashion and Editorial Photography: Sixteen Tales From Around the World as a way to gather some of my favorite fashion and editorial work into one place. It is a 188-page photobook, but more than that, it feels like a little record of the people, places, moods, and creative moments that shaped these shoots.

A lot of it started with a spark in Saigon and grew from there, across different cities and collaborations. Looking through the book now, I see more than the finished images. I see the days behind them, the travel, the conversations, the styling choices, the unexpected moments, and the feeling of trying to turn an idea into something real.

In a world where most photos are quickly scrolled past, I love the idea of this work living in print. Something you can slow down with. Something you can hold.
