July 7th: Beijing, SOURCE- Although it was registering nearly 38 degrees on Wed the 7th, it still felt hotter
inside the Beijing SOURCE Flagship Store. ZhangPengPeng's Neighborhood Girls photographic exhibition
pumped the temperature inside the SOURCE gallery space by a few degrees as the models from the shoot were present for photo ops. The vast amount of cold brewskies did help to extinguish the heat a bit.
Our friends from all corners of the Beijing street scene came to check out the unique showing. Special thanks to our friends at SIZE magazine and Mellow Parks for making a big showing and the support.
Please feel free to come by throughout the month of July, as the exhibition will stay up and is open to the public.
About the Artist
Zhang PengPeng Graduated in 2006 from the Science and Technology University in XiAn, majoring in photography. Upon graduating he entered the XinWei magazine group where he began his career as a photographer. PengPeg’s style emphasized on the strange, sexy, and street style of his surroundings. In 2009 PengPeng and a friend started up their own company, POP-UP. Through hip and trendy magazines such as Size, they were able to get a foothold in the market and begin doing shoots and designs for other big name publications. More so, POP-UP was able to parlay its relations with specialized stores such as SOURCE and DEAL to work on special shoots with Nike, Clot, Puma, ect, to better convey their style to the market. Sticking close to their street culture roots, they have been able to work closely with many of China’s more core street culture circles.
Using a SNAP SHOT style of photography and employing the looks of many attractive ladies, PengPeng was able to gradually encompass a more complete field of photographic muses: Armed Forces, Automobiles, Gothic, amongst many other.
