I have a few photo shoots and projects developing that require my immediate understanding of Hong Kong models and their agents/agencies. First off, this is not NYC, not in the least, so it takes 200% more effort. Visited four different agencies and couldn't help but notice that all of model agents were lesbian (a far cry from the shrieking feminine male in NYC). I am only making an observation and certainly am not making any judgement on this. But one couldn't help but notice. There are few Asian girls to choose from which is tragic and reeks of colonialism. Similar to India and the strive for lighter skin tone, the east asian image of beauty is still one viewed as western (those of you living or from the East won't be surprised by this). The 1st photo above is Miin (Korean), 2nd photo is Bakker (1/2 Dutch, 1/2 Chinese). We cast Miin. We think she is our new muse...
