Jessie
Chung
__________________________________________
Ever since i was young...
My name is Jessie Chung and I born
& raised up in Hong Kong. Some of
my friends would call me SuSu as
they think I look like a hamster LOL!
Since I was young, I admired the Japanese
model girls in Vivi magazine,all of them dress
up so pretty with a sweet smile. From then on,I
like taking photos with nice outfits on. Then
some of the photographers found me quite
photogenic & my face is unique, which made
me do some collaboration with them & sometimes
freelance modelling jobs.

The Confident Smile
Yet I didn’t sign with any modelling agency as they asked
me to lose at least 5kg & do some injection to look better.
Though, i have a curvy natural body structure which make
me look big, but I’m not fat . However, I think every girls is
pretty with the confidence smile on. I believe girls with different
body type can model too in US. Thats why I choose to
embrace myself & be a healthy confidence me!!

My Inspirations!
I
like fashion,mix & match ,street fashion.so I love to read magazine to update the
trend and shopping online.
It’s always nice when you dress up something nice & comfy to go out! & I like go to gym
sweat a lot make me feel so fresh & easy to wear some clothes I like !

My life & Interest
I
wanted t o share my life and interests with
the world, modelling is one of the ways that
i can express myself, i feel happy doing it
and photography is such an amazing art, I
learnt to see beauty in everyone and the world
seems so much brighter that way.
I admire confidence and ambition , I’m definitely
most inspired by people’s self love and
care, which lead to great joy and success.
Most of the time I enjoy spending time with
friends chilling. I love drinking, and just enjoying
myself and life in general.

My Interests
I’v e never pursued modelling professionally,
but a lot of my friends in Hong Kong are
photographers. I am always happy to model
for them if they ask, and we’d spend a whole
day having fun than taking actual photos. All
the photos here are taken by some of my closest
friends I’ve met through photography. My
interests in Hong Kong include hiking, eating,
and spending time with my family.
I am only home during the summer. I’m a full
time Psychology student studying in the UK.
My main interests in this field include forensics
and antisocial/violent behaviour. In my
free time I love to play football (not very well)
and cook (mainly Asian food).

Avellino

My Passion & Interrest
I’ve always been interested in makeup and in fashion to demonstrate my own
sense of aesthetics to the world. I know that I bring something different to
the table. My femme fatale style is promiscuous yet edgy with a sense of
avant garde.
When I first started modelling, I fell in love with the visual portrayal of myself.
Then I began to take this career more seriously. I love that I am showing the
world a different side of me. My style and fashion are largely inspired by my
travel experiences.
I am particularly inspired by the fashion and architecture of Paris, Milan, and
London. My style also alluded the orientalist fashion of Japan and Korea as well
as my own cultural heritage.

Keeping Memories Alive
You can address me by my english name Nicole. I’m 25 years
old based in Hong Kong. Been photographed is one of my
ways of keeping memories alive. I started modelling just for
fun and as a hobby, then I grew to love it more, therefore I thought
I should take it more seriously and do some modelling as a side
thing in the future. However, I’m currently doing it for fun and
have been working with a few photographers, most of which are
my friends.

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding
something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little
to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way
you see them.

Growing Up I n A Multicultural Environment
Mixed race girl that grew up in a multicultural society
surrounded by unique experiences only seen in places
like Hong Kong. I value creativity and am inspired by
those with purpose and passion; reflected by the very ambiance
that Hong Kong transpires.

Love both photography and modeling and believes it can capture any
moment in time; encompassing raw emotions that the viewers can also
feel when seeing the image.

I love that art can be expressed in to many different ways and therefore
love to also write music for fun. Overall, very driven by the small things in
life and always finds the natural beauty in people and things.

“ An image captured on camera represents an individual
record seen by the photographer’s eye.

My Source Of Inspiration
For me, photography is for recording
the important moments in my life,
that’s why I started doing photography.
I started modeling just because
I was curiousas to what it’s like to pose in front
of lens and see those moments get captured
in a way that iginites certain emotions in me.
Mountains inspire me the most, I always talk
to myself when I go hiking. My favourite thing
is hiking, I can relax, reflect about my past,
likewise think about the future.

what draws me in on modeling
Honestly , I don’t really feel confident before i
started modelling. Since I started the collaborating
with different kinds of photographers,
i find it really interesting and it totally boosts
my confidence. I sincerely enjoy the moment shooting with
them and I can learn many things from modeling. so i
would say my hobby draws me in.

What Inspires Me
I’m mostly inspired by how emotions can
be reflected from a picture. Often times i
find it hard to make decisions on which
pictures to post due to how individual pictures
sways my emotion.

What I Do For Fun
Mostly, i spend my free time with
friends, spot some new locations
and restaurants. It is the best way
to release stress and find happiness
for me.w

My Hobbies & Passion
I’m a painter but i also have a thing for photography
and modelling. I have been painting for a while now
and I never get bored of letting my imagination run
wild with colours and designs.
On the other hand, I started modelling not quite long and
I adore every new skill or pose I learn. I’ve always been fascinated
by cameras and they work and also seeing photographers,
different editing styles. I love meeting new people
and making long lasting connections which goes hand in
hand with both of my creative jobs. I am also extremely enthusiastic
and up for almost any challenge sent my way!
