Gary Chew's Concrete Desert Image Series is Architectural

— September 1, 2014 — Fashion
Photographer Gary Chew captures Rafael Moreno in 'Concrete Desert', an architectural image series that embodies a clean aesthetic of minimalism. The Diva Models face poses in front of an industrial backdrop while donning the edgy designs of Joyan Chan.
