Communication:

Contacting local talents, finding photography studios was a challenge at Xi’an city where I am not familiar with at all. But I managed to reach out to few creative individuals to work together through local friend’s help.

Contacting studio, choosing makeup & hair artist and the model to work with.
Purchasing props: preparing for the set. I also rent an analogue film camera for the shoot.
