Like The Trees And Their Leaves

The streets under my feet started turning orange gold from the fallen leaves
A fiery red sky, and the thought of you waiting for me there
Your skin, your lips, your sighs..

Inside my bed
Inside my head

Like the trees and their leaves
I tried to touch her, keep her
But like the city outside my window
She was never completely mine

Room #5

Brian Huynh’s Room #5 is a story of melancholic longing, a view into what we expect to be a transaction between lovers, strangers or something uncertain. The notion of a Motel getaway is a place for escape, to meet in taboo and to be in a room meant only for secrets. A once discreet space in turn becomes a place where one is most vulnerable; revealed. Her escape ironically becomes a lurid confinement, but still a place to retreat. She waits for her partner, however, in the end, her once fleeting moments are unrequited, doomed to be remembered and ultimately forgotten.

She’s A New Black

She’s a new black is the story of a strong woman, passionate, funny and an emotionally impenetrable as the color black. But in that black, she will find the light and the freedom to finally be what she has always wanted to be; this is a true story, this is my story.

Coney Island Baby

I often feel nostalgic when I see a fun fair, reminding me of how much I loved going as a child. So what better place to do a shoot than the king of fun fairs - Coney Island. I wanted to capture it in a really fresh, colorful way so we went early in the day to avoid the late night debauchery.

My Limbs Were Decor for You

This is a story of a girl that is trying to love someone less. She is picking up stray pieces of him in every dream she has. They were all about you - She is trapped in one low, heart-shaped globe. The ending is a feeling of nostalgia for her; encapsulated all in a sort of melancholic madness.

  Love is an organic thing. It rots and softens.”

Till It’s Gone

Amy and I had not seen each other in over a year. A lot of things had changed in our lives within that year. I wanted to capture the essence of her. I did not want all the things that are expected from editorial shoots. I wanted to capture the realism of a woman without anything distracting the spontaneity and flow, and just capturing something that cannot be replicated. A real moment.
