I had a blast shooting actress Kae Yukawa yesterday with my friend Marco Verigna.

I worked with actors a lot when I was in New York, and photographing them has always been a huge pleasure. I love and admire the way actors can bring such depth when they model. Kae was no exception. This girlie has the face for close ups!

Kae, thanks so much for a wonderful shoot. I had a blast hanging out with you. All the best in your acting career in the UK! I hope you enjoy your preview

Some of you might remember my family portrait of the Camerons. Here’s an adapted version

Only a true pro would take to lying on hot pebbles and STILL LOOK GORGEOUS. Kae, you’re such a trooper! (.. and maybe I should learn to be nicer to my models. But I do love the texture in these shots)

Aaah, golden hour. My favorite time of the day

When I took this image, I didn’t tell Kae but I had a particular image in mind. Lattice work always reminds me of old Shanghai, where my family harks from. My grand parents have one of the most romantic stories I’ve ever heard. Between them, they have two revolutions, and a decade-long separation because of political events. This image reminds me of the stories my grandmother would tell me about seeing her husband-to-be. (… and they lived happily ever after)

And just for fun, a few behind the scenes shots, courtesy of Marco!

My family has always known me to be a monkey.  And it’s no surprise to anyone that I’m an avid rock climber. Evidently this translates into  photography as well. I am ALWAYS climbing on stuff to get the best angle.

What happened to my other shoe?!… I guess it didn’t fit in the lattice

Emilie, Marco’s wife had but one comment when this appeared on facebook: “where did Eva steal that chair from!?!” … heh.
