June 30, 2011 – Whitebox Studios. Every now and then we get talented students like Jesse Chia who come to have their portfolio photographed. Jesse is fashion stylist and designer, and he’s graduating this year the Art Institute of Vancouver. Aside from that, he’s also the marketing manager of the Vancouver-based fashion label Fala by Fala Chien. His final collection was photographed at the studio a little while ago, and we’re very happy to see the photos here:
Credits for the shoot:
Photographer: Ray Chang
Model: Ida Kafish and Albina Minakova
Makeup Artist: Clair Chen
Set: Suzy Ji
Creative Director and Stylist: Jesse Wu
Here’s some behind the scenes photos of how they created the looks. Jesse Chia and his crew also used our equipment during the shoot, and we rented a black background for them as well, but you can always recreated a dark effect by using the lights, like in our tutorial here.
Check out their great inspiring pieces themed “Spooky Girl” on the table.

Photographer, model, creative director hard at work!

So, as we always say – we’re always excited to support creative students just like Jesse at our studio – creative, innovative, and not afraid to be different. We provide 10% discount on studio rentals for students, and at a heartbeat help them out sourcing other parts of their team as well. Come and book the studio!
