Modern Weekly China Encountering Zhanglang Village 2026

About

Encountering Zhanglang Village is a fashion editorial series for Modern Weekly China, captured by photographer Ye Fei. The project explores the intersection of contemporary style and traditional rural architecture, set against the backdrop of the Zhanglang village landscape. Utilizing natural light, the series employs editorial techniques to bridge the gap between portraiture and documentary realism. Models Luoyi and Zhao Ziqi are featured throughout, positioned within rustic, weathered settings that emphasize tactile textures—from peeling paint and ornate wood to lush, overgrown foliage. The work favors a raw, observational approach, integrating the subjects into their environment to produce a contemplative visual narrative.
