Galaxy 2012

The four amazing ladies and photographers who made incredible covers for Galaxy magazine the past year. Enjoyed working with every single one of them.

This week, we are going into production of the first shoots for 2013 (in fact, we started last Friday!), but the main event is the cover shoot on Thurs. Am chanting for good weather as I type this as the logistics of a cover shoot are a nightmare to coordinate. It takes a village...




Kelly M shot by Jonas L
Melanie Z shot by Olaf M

Kimberly V shot by Jonas L
Cara G shot by Gordon L
Update: Requests for info on outfits! From top to bottom: Michael Kors, Paule Ka, Armani and Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Karen Yiu did most of the hair/makeup, except Cara Grogan's shoot which was by Marian Woo.

Stylists were Tasha Ling, Jolene and Harry Lam.

We did an ad hoc poll among those in the biz and favourite cover was.... Melanie Z shot by Olaf Mueller.

The Joy of Sax: Kenny G Performs live in Galaxy Macau: Artist touring Asia

Blast from the past, got to interview Kenny G at China Rouge in Galaxy Macau. Super nice guy and friendly, as expected.  But it was slightly bizarre meeting someone live, in person, who you've normally only seen on TV, from from the 80s!!

Feature in Prestige magazine. And a lengthy one in Galaxy magazine.

Also my first shoot with the super talented photographer Until Chan. Didn't know what he was doing during the making of... but the results were awesome. Hope to book him for every celebrity shoot!


The G Spot
Saxophonist KENNY G, one of the world's most commercially successful musicians, continues to mesmerise his audiences with the joy of sax. P.Ramakrishnan caught up with him at a concert in Macau.
All Portraits: Until Chan.

It's easy to recognise Kenny G. Since he first stated playing on stage (as a backup instrumentalist for the vibrating baritone of Barry White) at the age of 17, those copious curls on his slender frame have made for an instantly recognisable silhouette. This was no less the case when he played to a packed house at China Rouge, Galaxy Macau.

"It's my first time here, though I've been to Macau a few times before," he says, standing back and staring ath teh club's lavish decor. "I like it, it's beautiful. I like how you can actually see the audience." Kenny G is well acquainted with being content. He is a Guinness Record Holder of two titles: his sixth studio album...."

Full feature in Prestige.

Step Out in Style

Cover shoot for Galaxy magazine. Fall 2012.
Shot with Olaf Mueller for this issue. One of many we've worked on.
Karen Yiu for hair/makeup. Amazing to work with her as always.  She brought along Adam Wong for hair/make up.
My first shoot with the loverly Tasha Ling - she styled the shoot.
Yet another shoot with David O.

And Melanie Z knocked it out of the park. She's soooooo beautiful and was so wonderful to work with. Can't wait to work with her again. Now a face in popular ads on tv and billboards across HK, was thrilled to work with her before fame that's inevitably about to hit her.
