We sit down with my friend from Vancouver, Henry Hwu (@henryhwu). He talks about how he got started in photography, concerts and music festivals, to capturing images of Travis Scott, J Cole, Chance the Rapper, Post Malone, Lil Pump, Drake, Jaden Smith, and MANY more. He also talks about his relation with Logic, working for an airline (and the discounts), hypebeast and streetwear, travelling around the world for a single photo, and some tips for photographers.
