Throwback Thursday: Behind the scenes of a video shoot and interview

Always fun working with Jason. TBT to this interview/video shoot. We created our own background and set at the corner of the office. A tighter budget means, you get creative real fast to make it work.

BTS: Behind the Scenes of a Fashion Shoot

Knew a few things from the start; Karen Yiu (and her team) for hair and makeup, Dino Busch as photographer and Bhisan for Styling and getting all the looks together. I've worked with Taner S since 2009 (Model One agency FYI) so we didn't even need to cast him. The entire team had worked with him at some point or another, Hong Kong's resident super model. 

Shot entirely on location at the fab Island Shangri-La in Hong Kong. We've tried to present some of the best facets of this hotel...

Working with Feiping is always a pleasure; she's on time, she's very good to the team, she's involved and creative, puts her own stamp in all her shoots - and she gives a shout out to the crew when they do a great job.

As incredible as her images are, her gorgeous twin girls-the best dressed kids in the world-are taking over. 

TBT: This shoot with Edwing Chuang and Olivier Yoan

Working with Edwin is always fun. Fantastic young man, good soundbites, great pics.

Working with Alex Aalto has always been so brilliant. Short clip from when we were doing casting and trials for a shoot... that got delayed - pandemic pause - and then further extended as all studios closed. 

Well, hopefully later in the year can pick up again...

The Wedding Shoot: Outtakes from a location shoot in Macau with Arthur Bray

Wedding shoots are... mostly dull. But we had a fun team - the long day was not so long with loads of laughter and music. 

Magazine life.

One of the best cover-shoots EVER with Olivier.  

BTS: Behind the Scenes with Payal Shah: Bling it On: Indian Jewellery Designer

My chat and shoot with Payal Shah for the magazine. The crew behind the scenes - Olivier Yoan photographer, Megumi for makeup. Yes, I'm often criticised for using the same crew again and again. When you work with the best, why settle for less?! Although I should give more opportunities to young, new talent... 

With over 82,000 followers on social media, her account is a visual treat: https://www.instagram.com/p/CDOabtTpi-7/

For the shot below, the crew above were on set. Three others not in pic. 

It takes a village... for that one shot in print. 

With some of my fav people above, photographer Olivier Yoan (a name that crops up frequently on this blog and my professional  life) and model-icious Mia Kang. She's even more gorgeous in person.

 

Sets Appeal: Behind the scenes of a feature shoot: Diamonds, gowns and a pool

Making a splash for a feature shoot! With my favs photographer Ruby Law, Hong Kong KOL and personal trainer Utah Lee and this amazing crew.

On a very cold day in the middle of winter, we made Utah jump into a pool with a gown on and dripping with diamonds. Literally dripping. 

Good times.
