Editorial Photography in Shenzhen, China

A UK-based magazine needed professional photographs of a company’s management team in Shenzhen, China, for an upcoming feature. They reached out to me for the assignment, and I traveled to Shenzhen to carry out the shoot. With careful planning, lighting setup, and attention to editorial style, I delivered a series of polished management portraits that matched the magazine’s visual direction and publication standards.

An Australia-based magazine commissioned us to shoot the cover for their inaugural issue, and we were thrilled to be part of such a meaningful milestone. Being selected as their official photographer was an honor, and we worked closely with their editorial team to capture a striking and memorable image that reflects the spirit of their launch. It’s always exciting to contribute to something fresh and bold, and this assignment was no exception.

It was a chilly winter afternoon in Shenzhen when we photographed an American lawyer for an editorial portrait session. The air was crisp, and the light had that soft, silvery tone only winter brings — perfect for storytelling portraits. Despite the serious nature of his profession, the shoot unfolded with an unexpected warmth. Between takes, laughter filled the air as we joked about the contrast between his tailored suit and the freezing wind. By the time we wrapped up, the session had turned into a lighthearted moment — a reminder that even in the world of corporate and editorial photography, genuine human connection always shines through.
