In a homage to the female gaze, Alex Huanga Cheng channels the work of Justine Kurland in his latest story for UNPOLISHED Digital. Emulating Kurland’s photography, Alex captures the unadulterated joy of the youth and innocence of his subjects, illustrating the power of female friendship alongside the vitality of youth and uncensored emotions, whilst keeping a gentle distance. Look to Jeanne, Félicie and Cloé as they rejoice in the last of the fading summer sun.
