And another page is ready to be printed! We shot Xiao today in the Museum Château Dufresne. You might remember the previous blog entry about this shoot where I told you about the location. If not, go ahead and check it out, it is an amazing building.

So just before 1pm we met in front of the Château and started unpacking the equipment. While we did that, our model arrived with Fang Fang, as they had done the makeup during the morning. Soon, everyone arrived on set, and while Yanick and I were still setting up the lighting for the shoot, Xiao felt a little bit like a girl on Christmas-day, as she loved the dresses that our stylist Sarah brought and of course, the jewellery. Sarah brought in couture and jewellery worth over 120000$. At this point, we would like to thank MICALLA for so willingly sponsoring the jewellery for todays shoot and of course Holt Renfrew for the stunning dress. Thank you so much, you really made our model feel like a star today!

Soon thereafter, Fang Fang touched up the makeup and we were ready to go. One must know that Xiao is an aspiring actress and a model. So she had no problems posing in front of Yanicks camera. She did a great job, so as soon as the lighting was perfect in Yanicks mind, it did not take many shots to get what we wanted. The outcome is gorgeous and we all agree that we have produced a great image!

Xiao will be seen on page 267 (1400€ / 2090US$ / 2162CN$) when the book will be published in four years. She chose to donate to the Farha Foundation here in Montreal, fighting against HIV and Aids.
