Top Fashion Photographers in Hong Kong: The best of the Best

These are the best fashion photographers who are in Hong Kong today - as far as I know! 

Olivier and Dino. 

Oh this is going to be tricky, but here are the creatives in alphabetical order, not in order of preference, talent or popularity!  

We all have our favourites for whatever reason, preference of style. There is no good or bad, just different... From the minimalist to the maximalist, for the fresh perspective or the classics of the genre, these men and women will deliver. 

My usual crew are sadly no longer in Hong Kong, but had they been here, would top the list; Ayesha Broacha, Douglas Pieterse, Anushka Menon, Sabrina Sikora, Laurent Segretier, Dino Busch, Olivier Yoan, Ike, Jeff Hahn, James Gabbard, Jonas Lille, Yana Vilkina... etc etc. There was a time I only did cover shoots with Olaf Mueller. Its funny how time changes everything... 

The top photographers in the world currently are all women, many of the guys seem to have been cancelled (you know why!)... A few years ago, I heard an infuriating comment from a fella in position of power to saw 'we only give campaigns and covers to the guys.' Now I go out of my way to make sure I work with female photographers cause wow, the walls they have to climb and the mountains in the way...

Play List: David Elliott

5 things about fine art photographer David Elliott


What I’m listening to: music is usually playing when I’m working, so the likes of Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Andrew Bird and James Blunt, among others, are on a loop. My favourite male singers include Frank Sinatra and his modern counterpart, Michael Bublé, and my favourite females are Sarah McLachlan, Eva Cassidy, Alicia Keys and Norah Jones. Plus, doesn’t everyone love Adele?

What I’m reading: over the years, I have enjoyed Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, and The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. Photography books such as Genesis by Sebastião Salgado, The Earth from the Air by Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Manufactured Landscapes by Edward Burtynsky.

What I’m watching: I liked Birdman, Chef and even the soppy The Fault in Our Stars. The last great TV series was Breaking Bad. One of my favourite films is The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

What artists I’m following: Christoph Niemann has a unique ability to visualise and create. He can take something simple and transform it into something inspiring. Steve McCurry is also inspirational. I like illustrator Tanya Piratay and painter Simon Birch, whose vision and drive are a great model for aspiring artists.

Where I’m surfing: apart from the obvious Facebook, I’m often on Instagram to see what the creative folk are doing, and on YouTube for music and comedy stuff like Jimmy Fallon. I’m a massive sports fan, so I regularly log on to ESPN.com to keep up on basketball, hockey, American football, tennis and golf.
