Ten things about Lian...
I'm British Born, of Chinese descent by way of Malaysia. I grew up in Kuala Lumpur and London. Food gives me great pleasure and plays an important part in my life. I am an avid cook that rarely follows a recipe. I went to primary school and secondary school in Hertfordshire, England. I should do yoga to alleviate stress. I teach English to French, Spanish and Italian professionals and I am the owner of the online English school: www.babblechatenglish.co.uk Without thinking things through, I went to live in Paris without knowing a word of French and while there; successfully carved out a career as an advertising photographer. Interestingly, I take a lot of photographs and am strongly inspired by cinema and can, with great pleasure, devour three films in one day: Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, The Joel and Ethan Coen, Ken Loach and Jane Campion are among my favourite film directors. I collect useful experiences and great friends. As someone who alters her own clothes, 80% of the clothes in my wardrobe are from charity shops. I spend my leisure time 'thrifting' for hidden gems from quality designer garments to no-name tatty vintage dresses. I listen to Lea Thau's incredible pod cast: Strangers. It features people recounting heartfelt stories about their lives. Awards

I'm fortunate to have carved out a career photographing celebrities, musicians, designers, real people, children and babies with styled authencity. Ensuring my vibrant, lively, fashion-journalistic style runs through all these categories despite their diversity. I collaborate with magazines, record companies, newspapers, or book authors to provide pictures that enhance a story or to promote an artist. I additionally work as an advertising photographer working for ad agencies to photograph people in lifestyle situations, as part of an ad campaign. I have worked with agencies such as Euro RSCG BETC to TBWA Paris. I am constantly implementing an ongoing body of personal photography assignments; themed as visual art. |
