I found Peter Lau Photography through Instagram and shared the style I wanted. Peter, a celebrity photographer, understood right away and even introduced me to an amazing makeup artist. We did a fashion street photoshoot in Central Park and the streets of Manhattan, combining high-end style with natural, candid moments. I’m not great at posing, but his guidance made everything effortless and comfortable. The photos turned out romantic, full of texture, and exactly the mood I had imagined. His Flushing, NYC studio also offers beautiful indoor sessions, but street photography will always be my favorite.
工作日,小朋友放学后带着去拍照的,摄影师老师很专业,拍摄风格是我们一直想要的,效率超高,当场出片,我们约的时候是工作室周年庆、体验价格也很划算。一次非常不错的拍照体验!
