為什麼你想要當一名模特兒呢？
在我12年的職業生涯中，我非常幸運並與很多厲害的品牌合作過，其中我很想和攝影師Boo George一起工作，因為我認為他的作品很棒。而在未來，我希望能夠成為對其他年輕有抱負的模特兒的導師。
哪一個品牌是你合作過覺得最愉快的呢？
我喜歡為Brunello cucinelli工作，因為我非常喜歡他們的品牌精神，他們以非常鼓舞人心的方式製作非常特別的衣服。而 Dolce＆Gabbana 則是我合作的第一個品牌，我們對於對方都有極高的忠誠度。
你喜歡黑白攝影還是彩色攝影嗎？
我喜歡黑白的照片，因為它給人一種帶有神秘感的畫面的懷舊感。
在進行人像拍攝時，您是否有偏好角度？
我沒有偏好的角度，因為我覺得人像攝影是你和攝影師的互動。他會表達出不管鏡頭前或者鏡頭後的情感。
你真正喜歡什麼樣的風格？
我最喜歡的風格是高級時裝和英式風格的混合。
你認為西方時尚和亞洲時尚有什麼不同嗎？
我覺得西方時尚受傳統和商業的影響，而亞洲時尚則沉浸在文化中，充滿活力和展新時代的風格。我覺得在未來的十年內會有一個交叉點，而這對於時尚界來說是會產生巨大的創造性。
你在時尚界有遇過什麼挑戰嗎？你是怎麼克服的？
我覺得我模特兒生中涯的最大挑戰是在行業中保持 “存在感” 並且要持續的工作。我覺得克服這一點最好的方法就是享受你做的工作並做自己。
你的人生哲學是什麼？
有同理心的對待他人。

What do you want to work as a model?
I have been very lucky and worked with a lot of great brands over my 12 year career. I would love to work with the photographer Boo George, I think his work is amazing. But in the future I would to become a mentor to young and aspiring models.
Which brand you've worked with that you really enjoy?
I love working for Brunello cucinelli. The brand ethos is incredible. They make very special clothes in hugely inspiring way.
Also Dolce & Gabbana as they were the first brand I worked with and have stayed hugely loyal to me.
Do you prefer monochrome or polychrome photography?
I love monochrome as it gives a nostalgic feel to the picture with a sense of mystery.
When you are doing portrait shooting, do you have a preference angle?
I don’t have a preferable side. I feel a portrait shot is an interaction with you and the photographer. It’s a shot that is an expression of both in-front and behind the camera.
What kind of style that you really like?
My favourite style is a mixture of high fashion and English style.
Do you think Western fashion and Asian's fashion are any different?
I feel that western fashion is influenced by tradition and commerce whereas the Asian fashion is steeped in culture with a vibrant new age twist.
I do feel that over the last 10 years there has been a crossover. Which has been great creatively for the fashion industry.
What's your most remarkable challenge in the fashion industry? How did you overcome it?
I think the biggest challenge for any model is staying “relevant” within the industry and working regularly. I feel the only way you can do that is enjoying the work you do and being yourself.
What's your life philosophy?
Treat people as you want to be treated.
