Shinyong and the Spider

February 9th, 2012By Category: Photography


I was shooting the Ferrari showroom in Tokyo yesterday and asked +Shinyong Lee to stop by as she lives sort of in the neighbourhood and, well, room full of Ferrari… pretty girl….erm, what could be bad about that idea?

The shoot I was doing, for the Official Ferrari magazine, was not supposed to look like a ‘brochure shoot’; nothing too posed. So, Shinyong and I shot some stuff with one of the salesmen, to make it look natural.

This one, though, was just us having a little fun because you don’t get the chance everyday to use a room full of Ferrari as a studio.
