BONAE L'AMOUR

Bonnie Chen (in) Model’s Street Style

I have photographed Bonnie since my first fashion week in February 2010. It has been officially four seasons, and she has always been a sweetheart each time that we have met. As I have just recently started my weibo journey four days ago to share photos with a part of the world that cannot access my blog, I feel very grateful to have love and support from the Chinese models that I have adoringly photographed in the past year.

It really touched my heart when Bonnie tweeted this message to me on her weibo:

CNNGO: 5 Chinese Models to Watch in 2011

CNNGO recently used a few of my photos of Shu Pei Qin, Ming Xi, Sun Feifei, and Bonnie Chen for an article about “5 Chinese Models to Watch in 2011.” It was so fitting because I think everyone knows by now that the photographer who loves and promotes the Asian darlings the most is me.

I am very happy and appreciative that CNNGO chose to use my natural shots of the models. I prefer natural unphotoshopped and unedited beauty. Don’t you? No need to feed false images to the world.

Thank you CNNGO! But most of all, thank you to the models who have been so kind and lovely to this photographer!!! It is your kindness and true inner and outer beauty that have motivated me to continue photographing so unconventionally.

There are two versions of the article with slightly different photos:

Additionally, congratulations to Shu Pei on her recent engagement to her longtime boyfriend!!! She is the first one the list also! ;D

After Academy of Art University, the always friendly Bonnie Chen told me she received an email with the photo I took of her, Liu, and FeiFei from someone. So nice to know that she liked it!
