So last night I finally finished the Gold Coast photo shoot, it took me awhile in between other clients. Actually it didn't take me long for this post production, I kept most of the models' skin natural, only wiped away the cuts and bruises.. (these Queensland boys, they rough it up on the rugby field) Anyhow I also made the shots look slightly 1960s, afterall the theme is 'stranded' like an all men ship wreck.

For this shoot, I had to get my legs wet, jeans rolled up by my assistant. I swear to God, having sand in between your toes is not the best feeling, but I stucked it out.. since if the models are almost next to nothing.. But then again Queenslanders practically eat, sleep and die on the beach, so it's like first / second nature to them..

Again it's the Dolce & Gabbana approach.. BUT with bit of action and male bonding.

I dunno but it seems to me the guy in the red messes up your shoot. too too muscular. his neck looks wider than his head.

Born in HK, raised in Melbourne from age of 8, moved to Sydney at the age of 23. I have worked in the interactive media industry as a producer and designer, winning several awards and recognition in Australia and abroad.

When I relocated to Sydney early 2000, I started to work full time in photography, started off in advertising, then I branched out to shooting people, actors and fashion. I like to be skilled at different things.. next I will get onto interaction design, architectural facade.. I just love the beauty of structures). I get my inspirations from various art form such as moving arts, video performances and reading about world issues.

When I am shooting a portrait, I draw upon my years of experience from working with actors as a filmmaker and collaborating with choreographers and other artists on stage. It is through workshops and communication (online or in person) that I get to know them on a personal level. I like emotions, characters and sparks / dynamics on the final print. It is probably easy to ask the model to pose and you click the shutter, but I'm not interested in that aspect of photography. I want the viewers to interpret / critique what is going on in the shot.. Above all, i like storytelling.

I am hoping to gain some international exposure on here, so maybe next time I visit HK (as well as Europe in time). I welcome the opportunities to work / meet with some of the talents there. Should be exciting!!
