announcing » peggy wong + wayfare magazine

Today is the day that I can finally share this wonderful news with you... Remember earlier on the year I shot a travel story of Hong Kong for Wayfare Magazine? Well, I have taken on a much bigger role – I am now their Creative Director! I'm especially proud of this Summer issue, not only do I get to work with the amazing Editor-in-Chief Erica Dublin, but I also get to design the entire issue. With my editorial, branding, and photography background, it is an absolute dream job. I also shared a recent shot of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina (third spread down) as the features opener (I promise you will also see more of my photographs in the upcoming issues!) I cannot wait to start working on Fall because it's going to be IN PRINT! Click here if you'd like to pre-order/subscribe to the print issues. I hope you enjoy the new Wayfare as much as I do, it's really a labor of love. Thank you for all your continuous support of my work, it's going to get even better. x

PS - don't you love the cover shot? It's by one of my favorite people and photographers, Leigh Beisch. So happy we could feature her work, it's a perfect summer cover.

new work » wayfare magazine, pilot issue 2012

i know i've been holding out on my photos from hong kong, but it's for a very good reason! when erica dublin, CEO of see jane fly approached me last october about contributing to their new travel e-magazine wayfare, i was beyond excited. as we discussed the theme of the story, i immediately fell in love with the idea of documenting "hong kong" (p. 31) as a city of juxtapositions and sharing tidbits of a city that i grew up in – i even did a voice recording for the opener! and little did i know, i landed the cover as well!

not only is the magazine beautifully designed in a fresh, honest, and engaging way, there is also passion behind each story. wayfare makes you look at travel differently, and what a destination really means to the traveler. secretly plotting a "how to quit your day job" (p. 26) story of my own. ;)

i hope you enjoy this pilot issue of wayfare as much as i do. a special shout-out to the design team, anne and lauren for a job so incredibly well done. click on over and start exploring!
