Without further ado, here are some of my favorite images by Choi Yee for the "Modern Day Adam + Eve" shoot (honestly, pretty hard to narrow it down to just a few!). We had on board our two lovely models, Kate and Daniel, whom perfectly fit the bill and a fantastic styling team consisting of florist Rosemary, hairstylist Kellen and makeup by yours truly. The concept of the classic Adam + Eve dropped into modern day circumstances had been running through my head for some time and everything turned out exactly as we had envisioned.
We were lucky to have acquired our last minute shooting locations- courtesy of Rosemary's Aunt's backyard (whom may still not know we ever snuck back there) and the Indigo downtown. It was also fun to work with Kate on her first shoot as a new ethereal blonde.
Check out the behind the scenes video of our long but amazing day together on set!

Perhaps this can best be described as a Chinese opera singer meets a Western comic book character- but I will leave it up to your interpretation. Photographer Choiyee, created the striking "fan" pack and Kellen, the hairstylist, pretty much delivered the hair concept based on a sketch she provided. This unique shoot location is no stranger to our model, in fact, it shares the same parking lot as her day job.
As I'm putting together this post, the only thing going through my head is the theme song to "Two & A Half Men". Here is another collabo with Joey from ICE Digital Studios, shooting a man I know very well in an office building downtown that I wouldn't mind living in. The best part of the shoot is when the other outfit got locked into the office kitchen by accident and Ole attempted to utilize his MacGyver moves- without much success.
