  • Never in my dreams as a little child did I ever think I would come to live, work and play in Hong Kong. Born in Canada to Chinese parents, I moved here in 1994 and worked as an architect for 4 years before pursuing my greater interest in photography and art. Having published my second book themed and titled 'The Asian Male', I'm set to continue and explore all things that make this Universe as diverse and interesting as it is.

  • In a Model Casting?

    My advice to someone doing a casting....

    norm says:
    in the casting?

    norm says:
    you should smile and look at the person who is doing the casting

    norm says:
    shake hands firm (or of equal pressure) with the person

    norm says:
    listen and be enthusiastic

    norm says:
    ask one or two questions about the shoot....don't just nod ... make an effort if you want to stand out

    norm says:
    sometimes...the people doing the casting are looking for 'character' .. not JUST a face and body

    norm says:
    so be yourself but also be interested...

    norm says:
    if they don't choose you, just let it be and don't take it personally

    .....
