Adam Zhu "Nice Daze"

The culmination of seven years of work photographed between 2013 and 2020, Nice Daze is an intimate portrait of community and coming of age in downtown New York City. A lifelong resident of New York’s Lower East Side, at age 16, Adam Zhu began documenting experiences and friends in his social circle—a multi- generational network of contemporaries and mentors including skaters, graffiti writers, musicians, poets, and visual artists.
