Dongni (Douni) Hou is recognized for her striking and empowering paintings of women and girls as warriors and medieval knights, oftentimes accompanied by wild animals. In a poetic depiction of femininity in a dark elegance; seamlessly blending strength and gentleness. Her studio isn’t just a workspace; it’s an extension of her art. Surrounded by her work in various stages of completion and by murals she’s painted on the very walls, the space fully immerses you in her world. The studio was alive with the energy of her process, each brushstroke adding depth to the stories her subjects seem to carry. The faces of hero’s of battles women often face unrecognized and alone in. Documenting her work was a privilege, and I am honored to offer a glimpse of her art and the stories she brings to life.

Swann and Uriel, fantasy writers and stylist content creators, and I brought their original fallen angel characters to life with this photoshoot. Known their immersive narratives and sharing them on TikTok and other platforms, they poured their artistry into every detail. From their ethereal costumes to the profound connection they share. Together, we transformed their vision into a visual story that felt like stepping into one of their tales of two Angels exploring earthly wonders together.
