Leo Lam Fashion Photography - Seattle, WA - 206.973.7536
Brief Bio
Published Fashion photographer in Seattle. I love faces, and editorials. I regularly travel to London, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
lll stands for Leo L. Lam
I do not shoot for free and generally do not use MM models (with exception, see below), I really do not lack agency models to shoot.
I am looking to network with industry fashion stylists who have access to upcoming season's clothing lines or are creative with using vintage couture.
Makeup artists/Hair stylists/Fashion stylists - always looking for other fun and talented people to work with. If you are one of those who always strive to do better, try the best every minute and enjoy working with people, please give me a call.
Model muses - interesting muses. If you barely missed the height requirement for the agencies (5'8"+), but have great energy, look, build (that is, you are very fit, between size 2 to 6!) and an open attitude, I'd love to hear from you. You should be comfortable with nudity and other ideas, even better if you are an artist (of any form) yourself. Give me a shout, we can have some fun.
My motto for any shoots:
If it ain't fun, don't do it! We are not curing cancer here, I look forward to meeting and hopefully working with you soon!
Two lll's Rules as applied to Model Mayhem (just for fun), feel free to quote them:
LLL's Rule of Short Models Analogies
"As an online discussion about fashion/commercial models' height grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Kate Moss or Twiggy approaches one."
lll's Rule of flaky aspirants:
"The probability of a modeling aspirant flaking on a photographer is inversely proportional to the quality of photographs, communication skills and hotness of such photographer."
- Leo
I work with Soulumination (
http://soulumination.org/), a charity project that provides free photography "free of charge to families facing the loss of a child to give each family the chance to always hold tight to their child". Besides getting involved with the photography part, I donate part of my photography income to this project.
