Jeffrey and Blue Magazine

Here is an image that first got published in Dreamboys, a special edition of Blue magazine. It was very exciting at the time, because Blue was considered one of the pre-eminent magazines featuring the male physique in a highly artistic manner, giving rise to many photographers that focused on this genre. I remember the day I received a fax announcing that one of photographs was accepted for publication. So to Jeffrey, thank you for making my day.

David - Beauty in the Eyes of Pain

Over the next while, I will start to re-introduce various photographs taken many years ago, from the time I first started shooting the Asian male genre. If you were followers of my work before, then these images will not be new to you, but for newcomers, I hope that these images are refreshing. I think my way of shooting is somewhat traditional in thinking, whereby photography is about catching the essence or spirit of the subject at hand. Incidentally, my old website will be archived and this will be the new format, in the form of a blog.

So without further adieu, below is a photograph that I took of David, which to me, is one of my favorite portraits, taken just before the release of my first photography book, The Asian Male - 1.AM. Powerful and intense, with a gaze shows both pain and passion.

'Buddy' basketball guys...

My friend and model Luke L, asked if I would help take some quick shots of him and his friends for his basketball team. So here we are on a Sunday night at 10pm, after they came in from a model casting. Here are a few of my favorites from the set. The only thing was that they forgot the basketball! Their Buddy basketball facebook group.
