Hyphen Cover Shoot – The Inside/Out Issue

By Gene X HwangPublished On: May 10th, 2010

Back in March, I did a cover shoot for Hyphen Magazine at the old studio. The issue’s theme was Inside/Out.
It was still cold and wet then (seems like so long ago), and cover model, Pahole, graciously endured hours of goosebumps, as the shoot ran almost a full day through the body painting, make up, hair, and oh yeah the shooting.

I was grateful to work with some talented primpers including body painter Alison Kenyon and Jasmine Leung on hair and make up. Alison translated a custom illustration by NY artist Cryssy Cheung to skin. I thought it came together so well. It was one of those moments when the execution matches and exceeds the idea! The vision becomes reality.
The issue is out now –take a peep inside for some quality reading and editorial photos by myself and Myleen.

The issue release party happens Friday 5/14 at SOM bar in San Francisco. DJ line up and appearance by Adobo Hobo and our open air photo booth. Street meat and photo booth… now that’s a party.
