This time I was in sunny Brisbane! Yes the weather was gorgeous there, not at all like Melbourne but it did get a bit hot in the day and chilly at night. Nothing we can’t survive in. I think Brisbane is like a much much much smaller version of Sydney, if I had to compare it with another city but for it’s size it has an amazing amount of artistic talent, especially those involved in the fashion industry.
I was only there for a week so I didn’t have much time to work around and neither did I take any photos when I did my walkabout around the whole city in one day (I’m a terrible Asian tourist! Never photographing every new location I find myself in).
I stayed with Frankie Fong whom I’ve never met in person but was introduced by a mutual friend. He’s from Sabah (same state as I am) as well and one of the best make-up artists ever. No kidding! Check his work out. I think he’s becoming quite a big shot over in OZ land now
Not only is the guy a talented make-up artist but he also photographs fantastic images. Yes we are all envious of such multi-talented species.
My model this time was Laura Marshall from Gold Coast and she has one of the hottest bodies around. Now that I envy! Fantastic to work with and has a very unique look. Some of images from the shoot:

I had to precariously balance my flash on a railing for this! Wish I had another light source coming from the left though.



Laura can testify to Brisbane late-afternoon sun as BLINDING.
Thanks Frankie for squeezing in the makeup session at such a tight schedule, and to Laura for taking the long journey all the way from Gold Coast to Brisbane!

No photo with Frankie here because he had to run off to a dental appointment
Laura Marshall is SOOOO HOT!
