The printed work always hits different.
Finally got my hands on the November issue of Latest Magazine China 2025.

Thank you so much to all the team involved in this—bringing this inspiring theme to life.

This beauty editorial is inspired by the alluring courtship rituals of peacocks—seductive, almost mystical displays of attraction. Through iridescent textures and delicate accents of peacock pinks, lush greens, and electric blues, the story captures the quiet intensity of nature’s performance.

Subtle yet captivating, it channels the understated power of beauty that beckons without demanding—a visual symphony of shimmer, grace, and instinctual allure.

ELEGANT REBELLION ⚡️🖤

Thrilled to begin 2026 with the January print issue of Latest Magazine China.

In a haze of oil-painted light, romance meets resistance.
Restraint clashes with desire.
Softness turns unapologetic.

A makeup story that bends tradition —
delicate skin against wanton colour,
blurred cheeks against lacquered lips —
rewriting beauty as something instinctive, powerful, and quietly rebellious.

An ode to the strength of romance.
An aesthetic uprising.

Our beauty editorial has been published Magazine.

We wanted to explore the paradox of performance: how beauty can emerge from sadness, how fragility can hold poetic strength, and how vulnerability becomes a powerful visual language.
Grateful to F Word Magazine Editor-in-Chief and everyone involved in bringing this project to life.

We are excited to share that a beauty editorial we shot in London last October has been published Magazine.

The editorial explores the emotional duality of performance through the character of a clown — a figure associated with humor and joy, yet rooted in vulnerability and concealed emotion.

On stage, the performer embodies laughter for the world while carrying an intimate melancholy beneath the exaggerated gestures and painted smile. When the spotlight fades, the mask slips, revealing a quieter, more honest emotional truth.

Through this work, we wanted to explore the paradox of performance: how beauty can emerge from sadness, how fragility can hold poetic strength, and how vulnerability becomes a powerful visual language.
