"Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown"

Mid 2007 in Sydney I decided I wanted to make an edgy location story for my portfolio; I worked with two new models and a friend who was an up and coming Hair &Make-Up artist and I 'styled' the shoot myself, with retro inspired dresses from Barbarella Vintage. Here it is, all the shots thirteen years later - the story behind the shoot and it's delay will be up very soon too. In the meantime please enjoy Chinatown 2007 New Edition.
