Esha and Ah Ying originally planned to go Western Europe to take a set of pre-wedding next year. But when Esha dropped by my blog and saw my photos, she immediately knew that she could not go anywhere else. They are a special couple - Ah Ying lives in Hong Kong while Esha is a Taiwanese girl. They just got married in Aug this year. Esha wanted me to customize 3 stylings for her which represents "Past", "Present" and "Future" respectively. I really appreciate their complete confidence in me. I spent a short period of time in searching for this old-fashioned abandoned house in Mid-levels. Ah Ying and Esha love the place too. The weather was cloudy on that day which made it quite a challenge when most of the shots had to be taken indoor. However, I think I had taken some of the best shots this month. I hope you like them too!
The Couple: Esha & Ah Ying

Finally I received the "starter kit" from WPPI after waiting for a few months. It includes a membership certificate, a logo cardboard, pin and sticker.
I am so happy to have this international recognition and I will keep up my works!

Ho Chi Minh City is often referred as "Paris in the Orient" for its background as a French Colony in the 19th century. One of the classical western-style buildings there reflecting this feeling is the "Museum of Ho Chi Minh City"
We are just back from a 3-day pre-wedding photo-shooting trip in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam! The schedule was tight...the sun hided away from us...some arrangements went wrong...BUT still we had a great time and I hope I can upload some photos for you to see as soon as I can!

Since our first fashion styling set in Pray Shop taken 2 months ago, many of our friends become so envy of the model who had the free will to put on pretty clothes she likes and had me to capture her beautiful moments. Being one of them, Scotty volunteered herself to be our model again when she learned that there are some new arrivals from UK and Japan at Pray!
Although this is already the fourth time we took shots for Scotty, I found that her malleability is quite high and she is able to give people some different feel in each set. I especially like her few mature stylings in one-piece dresses. With a touch of elegance and charm, she interpret the meaning of woman in full extent!
Model: Scotty Ho
Make-up Artist: Zero Leung

Venue: Pray Shop

My recent favourite TV show is no doubt "The Shot" which is shown on Pearl at 8:30pm every sunday night. It is about 10 amateur photographers who compete for the chance to make their dream come true and become the next fashion photographer. Every week they will be given challenges and tasks to test their talent, skills and qualities to start his/her own professional career. Their shots will be reviewed by a professional panel who will eliminate the weakest shooter every week until the winner of the show is crowned after 2 month's competition. It is very real life as their individual weaknesses are gradually exposed in the course like: you will see them accusing other team members and using different excuses to protect themselves.
What I get most from the show is the lesson that no matter how good the technique a photographer possess, what's more important is his/her ability to cater for client's needs and cooperate well with other team members. I will bear this in mind and just like all the contestants: "WILL NEVER GIVE UP!"

I came across a lovely magazine -
little thing - in Kubrick months ago. It presents themed special feature to analyse interesting fashion topic and introduce famous or unknown fashion stylists and designers. It is published in China yet its vision is very global-wised. I absolutely love their styling and delicate fashion sense. What also makes me want to recommend it to you is their beautiful photos and wonderful themes which is unique in each issue. Although it is a magazine for young female, I find it very inspiring for someone like me who work in an industry which mainly caters for the female needs!

I am happy to announce that we now have a small supply of wedding gowns and evening dresses from SO WEDDING for our pre-wedding clients. SO's dresses are all designed by local designer Suki. Their dresses are of luxurious and very unique style. Suki's signature is mixing rough fabrics to create elegant designs and often experiments with volume. Their dresses are so unusual that often make them stand out from the others. I love their design very much and coincidentally she is also looking for some modern and unique photography style to match her dresses. That's how we reach this chance of cooperation!
You may click on above link to find some more about SO WEDDING. We will continue to bring in more and more new dresses from them. Contact us for more details.
