From Instagram to Print: The Story Behind My Newest Printed Work 最近 // LATELY Vol. 1

Photography has always been more than individual images. It's about bodies of work, experiments, ideas, successes, failures, and the creative journey that connects them all. So rather than letting these projects exist only in the digital world, I wanted to create something tangible—something you could hold, revisit, and experience at your own pace.

That's how 最近 // LATELY Vol. 1 was born.

最近 // LATELY Vol. 1is a new twice-yearly photography publication featuring a curated selection of work created during the first half of 2026.
