URBAN NOMAD / 城市游牧

This is part 1 of 4. Last week was my Spring Break, so of course I went to New York to enjoy my time off and also to leave my self-promotion booklet by some design firms. I'm so happy I was there physically to show them I took the initiation. The rest of the trip was too much fun, I went out partying for 4 nights straight, good friends, good company, nothing else is better!

This is a photoshoot I did of my good friend Peter, we bought alcohol to drink before the shoot, so we were buzzed by 3 in the afternoon... AND we finished the shoot under 1 hour because the sun was setting really fast, so we were racing against time. The theme is inspired by the constant need to wander and travel, and we're in the urban, city area, so it's fitting to go with this vibe... and 城市游牧 means Urban Nomad in chinese, my little tribute to Peter!
