When Versace reposted our shoot!

 

TBT: We did a cover shoot for Runway magazine, with my favourite team led by Dino Busch (photographer), Bhisan (stylist) and Yana (super duper model). There were two amazing shots that Dino took with a full Versace look that went viral online - before the term was popularised in the vernacular.

Outtakes: Bipin Karma on set: Young Actor from Nepal in the Bustling Hong Kong Film Scene

Outtakes from a shoot with young actor Bipin Karma, you can read the full interview with the promising, rising young star in the November 2021 edition of Prestige Hong Kong. 

Star of Hand Rolled Cigarette, it's a phenomenal debut. The young nominee is heading to awards season. Fingers crossed. 

Signed with Model One agency-- that resemblance to Zayn Malik (without the awful tattoos!) paying off in some ways... 

Studios and on set antics

 If you've ever been on set, you know its smoke and mirrors for the final shot as most studios are a cauldron of chaos and questionable hygiene. But the cropped final shot is pure magic. Esp with this team... 

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.

The hunt for good Jade

I've loved working with and shooting Jade Lui a few times over the years for the magazine. Chef, celebrity, model, mother, wife, she essays so many roles with such elegance and ease.

Jewellery Shoot: Behind the Scenes

One of my fav shoots ever; all you need is a good photographer, model, makeup artist and stylist. Smaller the team, the better it turns out. Almost always. 

Too many cooks and all that stuff otherwise.... 

Aaaaaand its a wrap...

After the longest, hottest day of the year, where we shot Fall/Winter 2018 in the streets, studio and stations [you'll see!] of balmy Hong Kong, this incredible crew did the most amazing cover shoot for Runway, by Prestige Hong Kong.

That's relief and exhaustion and joy of a job well done. Photographer Dino Busch, stylist Bhisan Rai, model Yana Vilkina....  joyful to work with.

Back in 2008, after a particularly horrific shoot working with one of the b****iest stylist known to mankind, had a self-imposed rule of only working with fun, kind, generous and talented people.

This lot are not only gifted, but the loveliest to work with.

Until next time/shoot/on set lols...

On set. With Lenka Korbova. Leo Mendez. And this awesome crew - esp one of my favs Megumi Sakine, who is one of the best make-up artists in the world. Lenka (now Lenka Oshry!) and I've worked together on projects for years of course....

Argentinian model Leo Mendez jumped in for part of a shot - deeply grateful for him helping out.
