It is a rare opportunity to be able to photograph an entire issue of a magazine. It sounds like something that the greats got to do in the mid twentieth century – Penn, Avedon, Brassai – so when publisher and August Journal founder Dung Ngo asked if I was interested in photographing an entire issue of his beautiful design and travel Journal, August, I was not going to pass up the chance. Not every story is included here but these are my favorites.
