Polaroids - The Real Deal

Particularly when it comes to direct bookings (jobs booked without the client seeing you in person), candid snapshots take on crucial importance. As nearly all tearsheets are digitally enhanced in some way or another, casting folks often lament that models look far different from their picture-perfect portfolios. That's why agencies typically require polaroids, first as a means to select whom they'd like to bring onto their books and subsequently to have on hand should clients request them. Here's my latest set:

Home Again



Fourth outing in Singapore in the past year and it was just as great as the previous visits. Ended up doing two more jobs for StarHub (print and TVC) and two for Osim (print and TVC) - all should be popping up sometime in June. Above is the picture from the StarHub job last month (taken at the Hubstation roadshow at Plaza Singapura).
Landed back in London Friday afternoon and stopped off at the flat quickly only to rush out again to a fitting for a job that shot all day yesterday (8am-midnight!). Was a bit rough as I was still on Singapore time but as it was all location shoots (Canary Wharf, the City, Tate Modern/Millennium Bridge) it was nice to have a good reason to venture 'round town and revisit some of the city's hotspots.
Below are some of the highlights of this latest stint in Singapura. Hopefully I'll be back again at some point this year!

Back in Singapore AGAIN!

Seems I just can't get enough of the Garden City. Came out this time for print and TVC for Osim and had a great time shooting with an exceptionally cool cast and crew. Also came across the StarHub ad shot just two weeks prior (it's out already!) whilst wandering around - promise to load some new pics as soon as I'm back in London again.

Singapore Revisited

After three visits in the past year, Singapore has quickly become one of my favored stomping grounds, and I'm always stoked to back on Orchard observing what's changed in my absence (lots - seems like there's major construction going on just about everywhere). So when the call came last week to shoot a job for StarHub, I was thrilled. Weather was as oppressively hot as I'd remembered but I had a great time catching up with old friends and making a few new ones. Looking forward to getting back out there again soon!

Some of my favorite places:

True Fitness, Raffles Place (sadly closing down in the next few weeks)


Clarke Quay

Takashimaya Food Court
the pool at the Marriott
Miao Yi vegetarian restaurant, Coronation Plaza
Cathay Cine Leisure
