My portfolio, musings, amusing(s - that a word? No? K.) and more. Photoshoots over the years, behind the scenes anecdotes, some awesome celebrity encounters (some horrific ones too!). 21 years+ as a journalist in Hong Kong - that's a lot of verbal diarr... um... discourse!
And behind the scenes lols.
One of my all time fav cover girls - lovely Kelly - on set and on screen!
Cover shoots are long and tedious - get yer laughs when and where ya can.

Her transition into mainstream fame first ignited when she relocated to Hong Kong and signed with TVB. She was shot further into public recognition through standout television roles in hit dramas like Ghetto Justice II and Divas in Distress. Her charismatic performance in the latter earned her the affectionate and enduring moniker "Princess Heung Heung" from viewers, alongside major accolades including the TVB Anniversary Award for Most Improved Female Artist.
On social media, she commands a robust digital footprint with over 1.1 million followers on Instagram. To put that massive following into perspective against Hong Kong’s population of roughly 7.5 million people, it means that a substantial fraction - nearly 15 percent - of the entire city's populace follows her online updates. Her feed bridges her daily life as a mother with high-profile lifestyle, beauty, and fashion content.
Beyond television and social media, Sam is a fixture in luxury publishing and high-fashion circles. Among her notable editorial work is a prominent feature and cover-style layout for Prestige Hong Kong, photographed by Ruby Law with art direction and styling by Tasha Ling at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental. In these high-end spreads, she has modeled major luxury houses like Bally, Nanushka, Ports 1961, and Dolce & Gabbana. Complementing her work with publications like Prestige, she frequently collaborates with top-tier beauty and lifestyle brands, seamlessly balancing her early roots in pageantry with a lasting presence as a modern style icon.
Having spent the day with her and her team, the professionalism is beyond compare - and she's a joy to work with. There are other stars we've had to work with that have been... hmm what can I say that the NDA will let me... not as easy as they pretend to be when the camera is on... Eliza's just fun and professional - works with the photographer understanding every great shot is a team effort, not a solo sport.
Can't wait to work with her again!
以下是為香港讀者量身打造的繁體中文翻譯，採用地道的港式中文語氣與編輯風格：
岑麗香（Eliza）是加拿大華裔的香港女演員、公眾人物兼選美冠軍——沒錯，她當年憑著招牌式的燦爛笑容與無窮魅力勇奪桂冠。她在溫哥華長大，演藝之路始於2009年摘下溫哥華華裔小姐冠軍，隨後更於2010年榮獲國際中華小姐總冠軍，正式走入大眾視野。
她回港發展並簽約TVB後，人氣迅速飆升。憑著熱播劇集《怒火街頭2》及《巴不得媽媽...》中的出色表現，她成功打響知名度；當中在《巴不得媽媽...》的討好演出，更讓她贏得觀眾親切稱呼為「香香公主」，並斬獲萬千星輝頒獎典禮「飛躍進步女藝員」等重磅獎項。
在社交媒體上，她的影響力同樣舉足輕重，Instagram 擁有超過 110 萬粉絲。以香港約 750 萬人口計算，這意味著相當於全港近 15% 的人口都在追蹤她的最新動態。她的個人專頁完美融合了雙寶媽媽的日常，以及高端時尚、美容與生活品味的精緻內容。
除了電視與社交平台，香香亦是時尚圈與奢華雜誌的常客。當中令人印象深刻的，莫過於她為《Prestige Hong Kong》拍攝的封面級時尚大片。該次拍攝於置地文華東方酒店進行，由攝影師 Ruby Law 掌鏡、Tasha Ling 負責美術指導與造型，香香穿上 Bally、Nanushka、Ports 1961 及 Dolce & Gabbana 等頂級大牌演繹奢華時尚。除了雜誌大片，她亦頻頻與各大一線美容及生活品牌合作，完美將選美冠軍的底蘊轉化為當代時尚 Icon 的持久魅力。
跟她和她的團隊共事了一整天，那份專業態度真的無可比擬，而且過程超級愉快！說實話，我們以前合作過的其他某些明星……嗯，在受保密協議（NDA）限制下，我只能說……他們私底下的配合度，可遠沒有鏡頭前表現得那麼輕鬆甜美。但 Eliza 既好玩又專業，她非常明白每一張絕美大片都是團隊合作的成果，而不是個人獨秀，跟攝影師的配合簡直默契十足。
真的迫不及待想跟她再次合作了！

Perennial favs, stylist and art director Tasha Ling and photographer Dino Busch.
