I had the privilege to shoot with one talented model from Canada and another great make up and stylist from Spain. All the make up and styling were done by Begona Alegria along with Annika Dow as the model. The shoot was taken in a studio at M50 in Shanghai and some selected outdoor area. The shoot was quick and the results were creatively pleasant and unique.
I shot another food set with M1NT with another talented chef from Austria, Lukas Ziesel. He created some really creative dishes for the shoot that is rich in color and very uniquely designed for the eye. The dishes are visually very enticing and mouth watering I could barely concentrate on my work. We managed to get some great shots with the help of the chef making it so easy for us to shoot.
I had a great pleasure to working with a great Designer Neima who is a fashion designer based in Italy. NEIMASITAWI is a luxury boutique fashion brand out of Bologna, Italy with designs exclusively created by American-born fashion designer, Neima Sitawi. I had the privilege to shoot one of her precious collection that is very elegant and unique.
We are very excited to shoot another set of food series for M1NT. Previously we shot a series of food dishes with a plain white table cloth achieving a clean cut result. This time the client is asking us to bring a moodier atmosphere into the picture. We changed the location that blocked most of the natural light. We needed a lot of more texture in the background thus the client provided us stone plate that had an amazing texture. […]
We embarked on a journey into the far west of the Chinese territory, to be exact into the Western provinces of Gansu, Qinghai and Sichuan. The majority of the inhabitants are Tibetans, the soil of the western China is rather infertile and economics still very poor. Yet the landscape offers fascinating and breathtaking photographic views that left memorable experiences. The average elevation is about 8000 feet and the highest we climbed up to was around 15000 feet where it caught […]

Everything worked out at the end hiring the models on […]
I had the privilege to shoot a cover photo for Jon Benn, the legendary actor who played in several Bruce Lee movies. The most prominent movie he did with Bruce was “The way of the Dragon” where he played the villain along side with Chuck Norris. Today Jon resides in Shanghai and I had the honor to meet him. As a Bruce Lee fan I had watched my favorite Bruce Lee flick a million times and here I am with […]
During my Vietnam visit I joined a 4 day trip to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh in Cambodia. It was my first time and I had to join a tour group. I had heard about the Angkor Wat sight before and I was excited to pack up my gear and capture the ancient city. I couldn’t expect too much from an organized package that included shopping in the agenda. I use the limited time to capture at least some of […]
Anne is a talented new model in town and we spontaneously took some test and portfolio shots for her book. We initiated some basic studio test shots and changed the settings several times. We were headed to Moganshan before the dark hit the night and got some brilliant sunset ambient light, very soft sunset light.
A double whammy shoot, I like using double whammy as it will always remind me of Northstar and Sierra. Today Valery brought a pair twin models from South Africa she met at Mint. Val’s challenge was to brush up these two models on time to make the shoot. They showed up around 8am in the morning in order to have enough time to style them. I was able to start some test shoots around noon with one model. Val was […]
