I know not many girls would say ok to going off to Hong Kong or anywhere outside their country with someone they've never met. I had my best friend make me watch a bleedingly long video on
Human Trafficking. But what the hell, i think i profile people well enough from a couple of exchanged emails to make decisions. Before i decided to live my passions of photography and modeling, i was a broker for a handful of years, so profiling people kind of became second nature to me. But no, i'm not giving a thumbs up to girls going off to different countries with strangers in hopes of a photoshoot, please don't. I take calculated risks, and i research too much before i pack my bags.
One man's meat is another man's poison, my grandfather used to say. Well that's apparent when it comes to art. People of different countries and cultures have varied views on what they consider ideal based on the influences around them. And i'm open-minded enough to understand going to Hong Kong for a photoshoot would mean more 'cutesy' asian poses, so i tweaked my artistic preferences for this photoshoot ;) I think my photographer Samuel Lee did a great great job, thanks Samuel!
Oh, i overdosed on bubble tea with tapioca noodles in Hong Kong by the way.
