Riley Yuan
“Riley photographs daily life as simply and straightforwardly as he can. He first picked up photography in college, which was a lonely and misguided time for him. The camera became an outlet. After graduation, he taught high school English and humanities for three years before joining the Peace Corps in Indonesia. He is still focused on documenting daily life—his own and that of the people around him. ”
