Hello m’loves!

I’ve been away for a while (sorry!), but I hope life has been treating you well.

A lot has happened in the past few months – I went to Singapore + Malaysia for a month and a half, came back home to see Adele perform live, started a new course at a new university (restarting my university career from first year ugh) – and while study and work have kept me extremely busy, I was also frantically preparing for my first solo exhibition.

And it happened! I officially opened Bloom last Thursday, with an opening night where my friends had a first look at the collection.

I’m so incredibly grateful for this amazing opportunity – to exhibit and share my work in the flesh, and know that there are people who enjoy and appreciate it. I hope for my work resonate with people – for it to inspire and stir.

A lot of time and effort has gone into making Bloom a reality – from lettering and working on posters, to getting photos printed and framed, and spending hours painting a mural – and it’s all paid off to see how everything has come together.

Bloom is an incredible and exciting milestone for me, and I still have so much to learn moving forward from my first solo exhibition.

I love every bit of Bloom – the collection is a culmination of personal experience, struggle and development, expressed through my love for analogue photography – and I would love to share this piece of me with you.

If you’re in Sydney and would like to see Bloom in person, the collection will be up until Friday 19 May 2017 at Cool Mac café (just a short walk from Milsons Point station)!

And here is the exhibition poster:

Please send/tag me in your photos (@emilyyyung on Instagram) if you make it down to see the exhibition – your support would mean the world to me, and I would love to know your thoughts! I’m also running a giveaway, which you’ll find the details to at the exhibition. The prize includes a print from #bloombyemilyung and a custom lettered piece, so get on it! #bloombyemilyunggiveaway

So that’s all for now, but I’ll be back soon with new photographs and hopefully a revamped site (finally)!

In the meantime, take care x

With love, Emily.
