Sam Li photographed Mitzi Peirone in a smoldering editorial for C-Heads.

Li is a New York-based photographer who has been featured on C-Heads several times. The young talent (he's only 22-years-old) has a [passion for cinema](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) and a penchant for "[taking pictures of strangers dreaming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-dreaming-collection)." Italy-born model and actress Peirone is the perfect subject based on her expressive gaze alone. Having moved to New York to pursue her passion for theater (Peirone studied at the American Academy Of Dramatic Arts), it's clear that she has big dreams that will take her far.

Li photographs Peirone as she hangs out in over-sized t-shirts, [lacy panties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty) and snapback hats, looking every bit the American Dream in this exclusive editorial.
