recent work

( styling and photography by derek ho ) 

tried doing something out of the usual ( well for me...) for the latest project. the brief was to simply style and shoot four different white t-shirts with any topic of our choice. with such freedom, usually i would just go for things and styles i like - dark/black/givenchy/rick owens etc... but i wanted to test my abilities of whether if i am capable of doing other styles. when i thought of the simplicity of white t-shirts i wanted to style it in an unexpected and opposite way. i thought the white can represent the purity of a wedding so yeh... thats where i headed.... hence the romantic vibe and all white "wedding" looks. it was really worrying from the start till the end as i've never touched or experienced this kind of style and i was really scared that it'll fuck up and end up looking like shit.... thankfully it came out pretty acceptable and it was definitely good practice for me!... tell me what you think.

summer work

( 3.1 philip lim blazer, topshop shirt, zara skirt, zara heels, proenza schouler ps1)  

  sooooooo for my summer project this year... we had this huge ass project which to be honest... surprisingly... I really enjoyed and loved. We had to research around 40 different fashion photographers, write about them, their work, reference their work etc... and I really learnt alot! T'was uber useful! So for our final outcome we had to produce two photoshoots and here is one of them! as usual like all of my other past works... I used melinda as my model ( hahaha shes my "muse" ). So this shoot was based on Yasumasa Yonehara's ( kinda like the Japan Terry Richardson) style. Kept his usual provocative touch but mixing in fashion with it. Personally I was pleased with the outcome. Whats your thoughts? :) Shall upload the more exciting second shoot sooon!!! look out if you are interested!
