Sloika - "Girl and Camera" - Sold Out
I’m so delighted to have been asked to be the third ever photographer ever - and first from Asia - to mint a series on Sloika, the new global NFT Marketplace brought to you from the founders of 500px.
The series, a 20 1/1 photo set, is the first portraiture work ever to be sold on the platform, and I am delighted to be representing Asian photographers in this regard.
The works are now sold out, but if you are interested in acquiring them on the secondary market you may wish to view them here:

In a sense I feel very humbled to be asked to create a series like this, inspired by Hong Kong’s neon hues, when so much of the local attention of NFTs from finance, galleries and auction houses has been focused on international trading with little or no relationship to the Hong Kong creator communities. Hopefully these works inspire others to take command of their own imaging assets as photography remains a relatively untapped source of NFT gold.
Hashtag Legend Interview
Posting about this somewhat belatedly, but here is an interview I did with Yi Li Dawson of Hashtag Legend late 2017.
A little insight into what's been happening recently.
Justin Lim Photography - 500px IG Takeover
It is not a bad thing to be busy, although it sometimes means I'm spread a bit too thin. In between shoots for MR PORTER, Shanghai Tang, Mandarin Oriental HK and many more, I was asked to take over the IG page of 500px, the world's fastest growing photography site with 7m dedicated users. Tremendous honour and accolade, and something I'm always very proud to do as an ambassador for HK and wider Asia.
Emirates - Open Skies, January 2016 Feature
I find it a little strange to be regarded as an "entrepreneur", as my dedication to my photography is my foremost concern, one which I also regard as very much influenced by traditional artistry rather than entrepreneurial endeavours. Nonetheless, I am extremely honoured to be featured by Emirates Airlines for the month of January 2016 in their Open Skies in-flight magazine. It's definitely a nod to some of the more diverse projects I've been conducting via The Kandid, which have been interesting detours from my typical wedding and baby briefs.

Bottega Veneta Cruise Collection
It has been a very busy few months, but would just like to tell you about this recent shoot I did at The Kandid for Bottega Veneta and Lifestyle Asia.
To see the feature, click here. It's wonderful to be creating, styling and shooting for brands of this calibre, who really appreciate that photography is one aspect to a great shot, but styling is another facet entirely. Luckily the studio now supports both!

The Kandid - Home Journal 2015
I'm delighted to let you know that my photography and social hub have both been featured in this month's edition of Home Journal magazine. I photographed an 8-page feature on small plants, which took place entirely at my own workspace, The Kandid. This shoot saw names such as Ovo Hotels and Quest Terrarium visit my little hub. A very cool shoot indeed.
Paris in Bloom
Paris is a place we all love to get behind, with its sleek, urbane sophistication and its effortless insouciance. Driven by a new minimalist aesthetic, it remains the gold standard of chic. Great to spend some time there after so many years.
For more of my reviews on Paris small plates, see my write-up on Townske.
Mrs. Pound
Very happy to be involved with the styling and photography for Mrs. Pound, a great new eatery in Hong Kong. These photos have been distributed to local media and magazines, and have found their way into international food blogs. Delighted for the whole Mrs. Pound team!
Japan, August 2014
Some recent personal images of the road from Hakone to Tokyo.
Clients always seem to pick up on my Iceland album on the main website. I suppose this reminds me a little bit of that. Especially the weather around Lake Ashi.
