block party - 48 hours magazine

pretty stoked with this latest published shoot with 48 hours magazine. got to work with my homie jordy again who is beginning to do big things here, but also shoot with my good friend josephine who i've been trying to collab with again since our last shoot for the fashionisto mag.

seeing is believing

a few months ago i did a shoot for the fashionisto magazine, new york. the theme for the issue was darkness. my thought process was pretty straight forward, darkness - blind - can't see - obstructed vision, this basically led to the end result where i styled each look with the models eyes being covered/obstructed.

i had a great team involved, josephine (who i have been trying to organize a shoot with for some time and we finally made it happen!), ryan, martin, and my homie cam who was in town visiting. The shoot turned out dope, i'm heaps happy with it.

portraits by josephine

a few months back i was featured in a portrait series by my friend, josephine rozman.

she produces great work and it's always great collaborating with her. whether it's in front of the camera or behind, it's a lot of fun!

the other day jo came to my work place to photograph some products and the space, as well as do a short interview with me about the work i've been doing for konzepp (the space i curate for in hong kong). once we were through all the formalities (it was actually very relaxed), we decided to shoot a few more shots for another series of portraits.

i'm really feeling the rawness and graininess in these shots. it's definitely cool when you know you vibe well with someone who you want to work with. i still haven't been able to style a shoot for her yet, but we will... soon.

me, myself and jo

it seems i have been in front of the camera rather than behind lately, which is weird since i really don't like having my picture taken. who would have thought that being surrounded by models all the time would spawn some strange insecurity in me and fear of looking like a complete goon in comparison. ha!

today however, was actually a lot of fun! i was the subject for a series of portraits taken by the very talented josephine rozman, who had an amazing feat of making me feel at ease in front of the lens. seriously, that's hard to do.

somehow we grew up in the same neighborhood, went to the same college and never crossed paths. needless to say this will not be the case anymore. only took moving to another country!

keep an eye out for future shoots by jo and myself.
