Goan Gal: An Indian inspired photoshoot in Hong Kong

German supermodel Dzenita H loves to mix things up. Her versatile looks on camera come from a well-traveled career, spanning continents, magazine covers and catwalks around the globe. Hosting the best of top Indian designers with an original spin on ethnic-chic, Fine’n’Rhine, the Indian designer store, boasts a warm and versatile collection. So when the top mod with the hot bod saw the collection, being a huge fan of fusion fashion, she channeled her inner Goddess to strike a powerful pose. Capturing the bohemian chic often seen in Goa, the gorgeous Mz Hasovic got the look down pat.

Behind the Scenes:

Dzenita is one of my fav people in the world. Introduced to me by a mutual friend Michael S, I met her and fell instantly in mad lurv!A gorgeous person inside out, we've worked together in a few shoots and she's one of the best models in the biz! She's so hard working, so versatile & so stunning! And its a long day's shoot with loads of laughs.


Having been in the biz for long, she knows how to find her light, strike the pose, follow the photographer's instructions to the letter. A joy to work with (which is RARE believe you me!), I hope we get a chance to do many, many more shoots.

Karen Yiu of course, did her magic with hair and make up yet again. With Karen... nothing works! Bless her. Sujata, who styled the shoot was, well, exhausted by the end of it - in my digicam, my fav shot of the day is of hers, as she pulls her hair out. But what an amazing day and such great pics came out of it.

More outtake shots - er from my cam!
