Art Direction / Photography / Storytelling / Visual Design
"Connected" is a story told in photos about the concept of the red string of fate (originating from Chinese culture and myth) that ties soulmates together regardless of time, circumstance, or space. In our story, everyone can see each other's strings of fate except their own. No one questions where other people's strings lead and the idea is that people don't speak about the string. Even if the string is taut, twisted, or loose, it never breaks. Our narrative tells the story of two students who cross paths one fateful day.

Above are some of the photos taken/edited using a Canon T6i camera to create different angles and set different moods in each scene. Shot and edited by Sam Chang.
