Howard Huang's Urban Girls

When photographer Howard Huang began shopping his fashion book around New York in 2002 he had no idea he was about to become the master of urban photography. Back then, Huang, originating from Taiwan, thought «urban girls» were just women who lived in the city, explaining, «English is my second language; I was still learning.» Nonetheless, when the editor of Black Men magazine asked if he knew how to shoot sexy women he said, «Sure!» and set about staging the magazine’s voluptuous singers, models, and actresses in fantasies inspired by his love of comic books and anime.
