Zhang Fan in Tibet for Harper’s Bazaar Indonesia



My today post is about Harper's Bazaar Indonesia and the chinese model Zhang Fan captured by Nicoline Patricia Malina. The magazine headed to fantastic Tibet for its November Issue. Love this editorial called '7 Days in Tibet'! 





The whole (three editorials) shoots took seven days to finish.

They had the opportunity to shoot in the beautiful Tibetan plateau with the amazing styling from Michael Pondaag and Qiqi Franky providing the hair and make up on Zhang Fan.




Nicoline said it definitely was one of the most difficult shoots due to weather and our health condition on the highlands, but they managed to execute the concept all the way from Lhasa, the Brahmaputra and Yamrok-Tso lake, to the beautiful Shigatse and the Karo-La snow mountains.

From these photos, I am sure you can feel the calmness being in Tibet, the nature looks untouched, clean, and brings out the loveliest shades of colors on earth... 

This editorial makes me want to visit Tibet, doesn't make you want to do the same thing?! 

Have a breezy day,

Koleston Naturals Uses Nature


I came across this recently and although it's now 5 years old it's still a brilliant idea. 

The Outdoor Advert titled 'Natural Red' was done by H&c Leo Burnett advertising agency for Koleston Naturals in Lebanon. It was released in Feb 2008.


The creative billboard Campain for Koleston Naturals utilizes this natural beauty to illustrate the fact that this women’s hair dye is made from natural ingredients.

The billboards are strategically placed on a road side cliff with an unspoiled view of the sea and beautiful skyline. 


The woman’s hair area in the billboard is cut as to capture the variations of this beautiful scene during the different phases of day and night, reflecting the variety of colors that Koleston Naturals offer. 

The hair transforms from bright yellow to fire orange during the day. Once it starts to get dark, the billboard lights up, producing purple and vibrant coloured hair.

Excellent use of nature to promote the charcateristics of the product, don't you think? I love this innovative concept!

Have a breezy Monday,

Photo of The Day: The Blue Swan


Image from here

My photo of this Sunday is about this trumpeter swan gliding across Yellowstone River in Wyoming, taken by the photographer James P. Blair for National Geographic.

I am sure you also love this gorgeous blue palette saying 'winter, peace and silence'...Wonderful work by Blair!

Don't you feel an emotional response to the color yet?

Have a breezy Sunday,
