Ted Sun is a portrait and fashion photographer based in Los Angeles (where he was born and raised), and New York City. He attended Princeton University, where he received a psychology degree, and took his first course in photography and other media arts. After a stint as an advertising executive, Ted re-discovered his passion for photography some years later, while documenting his travels around the world.

Often notable in his work are nostalgic references to the 80’s and 90’s, collaborative artist portraits, and a traveler’s eye for natural scenery and story.

For this shoot, Ted teamed up with stylist Patrick Lopaze. Statuesque Romanian model Radu inspired a homage to the era of the 90’s supermodel.
