Leo Lam Fashion Photographer - Seattle, WA - 206.659.7536
Brief Bio
Published Fashion photographer in Seattle. 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 shoot MM models. Exception, if you are size 0-6, 5' 7" and above, over 18, under 25, see below. And please do not message me here, I check messages here at most once a month. Please contact me via my website.
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, avoid drama, value integrity, communicate clearly, 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 0 to 6!) and an open attitude, I'd love to hear from you. You must 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:

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.

Besides that, I am on the Technical Advisory Committee for the Creative Academy at the Seattle Central Community College. I mentor local students on science, engineering, photography and entrepreneurship, from high school to graduate school levels.
