soho, hong kong

so i've been cruising around hong kong and have found that there are all these little hidden parks nestled between all the taller buildings of hong kong, it's pretty cool to see a city that is so built up hasn't forgotten about natural surroundings too. well have tried not to forget. this is a little spot in central that i stumbled across, such a peaceful place in a crazy city. can't wait to find some other secrets this city has on offer!(a.p.c shirt, christian lines shorts, common projects shoes, maison martin margiela ring)

i need to explain the events of this day so you fully understand what went down. the concept was easy, something pretty commercial, sunny day, a few friends hanging out on a rooftop, a few drinks, music, just chilling and having fun, it was supposed to be a fun and easy shoot. unfortunately, it was quite the opposite, exactly what we weren't hoping for, a cloudy and rainy day (actually thunderstorms) and the extremely painful hangovers from the debauchery of the night before. so now the shoot concept changes, no more music, no more "fun" vibe and definitely no more drinks! and even no more group, we decided on solo shots so we could rest up individually between. it was a painful day, actually quite funny now that i look back.

luckily, everyone involved managed to man up and we actually produced some really nice images.

sheung wan, hong kong

after living in hong kong for a few months now, my friend christian came to visit. i've moved out of the serviced apartment and into my own pad equipped with a rooftop. right now it's pretty bare with actually no furniture but in the coming months i'll be sure to deck it out. still, it's really nice to just chill with a wine and just take in the view of the city.

diggin' in the crates - behind the deja crew shoot

here's a little behind the scenes video of the deja crew shoot. all in all it was a fun day. working yet again with my fake asian sister from another mother, morgan and the homegirl evie.


keep an eye out on morgan, she's a great talent, photographer and videographer and now dj. is it just me, or are all my friends becoming dj's!??

fabricated [stahyl]

for some reason, fate was against me for this shoot.

i had this concept of styling a shoot completely out of fabric, no clothing what so ever. basically to educate myself on the way different fabrics would sit and fall. i've always had a fascination with drapery, and this was the perfect outlet to experiment with it.

so, back to fate being against me. it just so happened the shoot took quite a lot of planning and surprisingly, obtaining really nice fabrics from designers was a lot harder than i had hoped. none the less, i managed to source some. then out of nowhere, the night before the scheduled date for the shoot, i receive a text. the text was from rose saying she was at ksubi's "big in japan" show, and what did they do? a show completely styled using fabric!

lucky for me, my styled looks dont look at all like the ksubi show.
