For his series “City of Dreams”, photographer Nguan captured portraits of Hollywood hopefuls:
“The only strategy I had was to walk in the city with my camera and keep walking, in a state of heightened attentiveness,” he said. “It’s hard to say how I ‘cast’ the people in my photographs, as it’s more of an instinct than a skill. In general, I look for faces that can bear the weight of the hopes, anxieties, and narratives that I wish to project on their owners.”
