Galaxy magazine, Fall 2012: Melanie Z cover girl

Woo hoo! It's here at last.

Galaxy magazine, Fall 2012. 

Worked with an amazing team to create the best cover/issue yet.

Melanie Z on the cover rocked it out.

My usual team at the shoot, Olaf Mueller (photographer), Karen Yiu (makeup) and co. 

Worked with the loverly Tasha Ling (stylist) for the first time, she styled the cover shoot/inside shoot.

Already working on Dec issue now... 

PS: The Galaxy font is gold - but when you scan the mag cover, it comes out black. Don't ask.... 

It looks much better on hand that online! ;0)

First shoot with the fun Rennie Fensham (hair/makeup) and model Amanda G. My n'th shoot with Taner S. 

Shankar Mahadevan in Concert

Normally when Indian singer and composer Shankar Mahadevan visits Hong Kong, it’s for a private performance. But the star has announced a one-off concert in the city for his loyal legion of fans, who he loves to connect with through social media.

“Well, I have a fan page which has about 730,000-plus followers,” said the star, who is also a judge of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa (an Indian talent show similar to The X-Factor). “I joined quite recently and originally wasn’t that active. But now it’s a great way to inform people about events, about my music academy, and get their feedback. When you see how many young people are taking part in reality shows via social media, it’s great to know that interest in Indian music is alive and well with the youth.”

Mahadevan had his own star encounter earlier this year when he performed with soul legends Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan.

“Walking up the stage to sing with my musical heroes, the ones I’ve looked up to my entire life – what can I say? I was representing India for a jazz festival at the United Nations and all these luminaries were on the same dais. To have Stevie Wonder on the piano, sing with him and Chaka Khan. Amazing!”

Mahadevan will be performing on Sunday at the Convention and Exhibition Centre. Tickets are available through hkticketing.com.
