Henry Hung is a photographer and filmmaker based out of NYC. This is of course not even a tiny piece of his story. It seems we can't remember a time when Henry was not part of this thing of ours. He has been a sounding board for every visual story we have told as well as a constant traveling companion and general source of grounding and inspiration over the years.

Henry works in a loose documentary style reminiscent of italian post war neorealism. He brings his unique style to this series of images creating a nonlinear photo story that puts us in the streets of NYC not as a voyeur but as a visceral participant in the moment. Through his unique vision he shows us the light and dark and grit and intent that is a hallmark of his work and cycling in NYC in general. He captures perfectly the very essence of the city he calls home. Henry has the unique ability to see things as they are and not as we want them to be, always managing to capture the romance and off moment that tells the truth of a story in a way that is meaningful and literary. He has worked tirelessly over the years to capture the perfect balance of movement and stillness and subtle gesture in all of his work. He brings that filmic approach and balance and light touch to these images for us in this series shot on the streets of New York City in lower Manhattan.

Henry also co-produced and co edited a bold and groundbreaking documentary film project about skateboard culture in New Orleans titled “Gnarleans”. He embedded himself with a crew of skateboarders following them through their lives in New Orleans documenting them in a way that is intimate and revealing. Truly one of the best films on skateboarding we have seen. We were lucky to have Henry shoot and craft our launch film “Ricordo di Liguria” and we are keeping him busy shooting and editing new film projects for us that we can’t wait to share.
