From Hong Kong with Love

From Hong Kong with Love

Silas Chu January 13, 2020

During my travels to Asia last summer, I had the opportunity to work with Julia, who was living in Hong Kong and working as a professional model. We styled this shoot with a monochromatic theme in mind, and some bits of nostalgia with negative color-film inspired processing. Due to protests in Hong Kong rendering most outdoor locations for shooting inaccessible, we used my hotel room as the location for our shoot.

 

Since it was a mostly overcast day, I grabbed an inexpensive generic Amazon speedlight and attached it to my Leica Q-P for some extra light and high contrast shots. Take a look at the results below, images shot on Leica SL with Zeiss 35mm 1.4 ZM Distagon and Leica Q-P:
