Modeling

I have posted about the kids modeling before, Elliot recently went to a place outside of Shenzhen called "Bride's Beach". A massive complex located along a beach, with permanent props and settings for photos. The fake church was quite popular with the brides and no one seem to mind that that letter H had fallen from the front of it so it read "OlY Cross Church." Horses and carriages, boats, Pillars columns, and whatever you could imagine. I didn't have my good camera so the photos aren't that great.

I am not sure they got good photos this day, as Elliot seemed determined to smile a big goofy grin.

In China they seek out anglo kids and because Hong Kong is an international city depending on the brand and market they can be sought after as well.
Our friends the Harveys and Udys have kids who model too. It is a unique experience for us that has been positive for the kids.

Here are some pictures from the actual catalogs.

A typical day of modeling for us inside China begins with us crossing the border and riding in a car an hour out of Shenzhen. The kids get paid starting from make-up time. It is usually 4hours for the shooting. It is a full day for us.

Cover Model

Elliot had a modeling shoot for the first time here in Hong Kong a couple of months ago. Here is the result. He is on the cover of Milk B and on page 38. I am not sure why they picked that photo for the cover. I remember there being much cuter and happier shots with the kids, but I don't sell magazines.







My friend spotted this display right here in Tai Po. Elliot didn't have to try too hard to mimic the cover of the magazine, he wasn't too excited to pose for me.
