Over the last few months, I have had the pleasure of working closely with the extremely talented Metro boys: Sean, Eric and Kevin on a truly meaningful project. You see after a lot of talking, we had all decided that for their next song for release, they would cover one of their most loved Hong Kong songs, which has not just been a strong influence and inspiration to their music since arriving in HK, but has been an enormous influence on Hong Kong music and people as a whole for a generation.

In any case I have photographic proof this time! This was a day of low-flying around the incredible skyline of Hong Kong in a beautiful bright red helicopter! And my pilot? None other th...Read more
Work continues at speed on our 2nd coffee table book, Killer Kawaii! This book focuses on cute and attractive Asian girls dressed in anime outfits and given some serious weaponry (machine guns, swords numchuks, pistols etc.) shot against a green, blue or white screen background. Then the photographed images are handed over to a digital artist who replaces the plain background with a comic book background that they draw in. Trust me, it's going to be pretty awesome!

Some time ago, I was lucky enough to be invited down to Jennifer Thym's latest film set, Bloodtraffick. It was AWESOME!!!

For anyone who doesn't already know Jen (on AnD she goes by her production...Read more
