His name is...Justin Wu


When the fashion world is full of established-haute couture- talented designers, beautiful supermodels, brilliant editors-in chief, talented make up and hairstyle artists, young bloggers, stylists, excellent photographers, then it's hard to get noticed! But fashion world always has an appetite. He always wants more, he is always hungry for more. The only question is: Can you feed him!?
Well, Justin Wu has answered this question. When this fashion photographer/videographer started taking pictures in 2007, he had no idea that his hobby would become his job. But it wasn't util 2010 th, when he made a big break. Soon every fashion capital knew about him. New York, Paris, Milan, London... everybody wanted him, everybody was hungry for him. Why? His personal photography style was new, fresh, and exactly what fashion world needed.
In his interview with POSI+TIVE MAGAZINE (that you can read here), he sad that he finds inspiration in street, people and Paris, where he currently lives.
But, what makes him the great in his job, is the fact that he loves have a conversation whit a model before they start working. "I always try to develop a rapport with the model before the shoot. If possible I try to arrange a meeting a day before or at the very least talk to the model during all of hair and make-up. It allows me to quickly try to understand the subject and anticipate how he/she works with direction and what emotions they can evoke. Fortunately, more often than not because I spend so much time trying to get to the subject we become good friends after and stay in touch" he says.
Right now, he is working on his new project. It's a "collection" made of mini movies. In every movie famous and beautiful male/female models are lip singing to a famous song. The latest one in a row is the video with a song "Empire State of Mind" by Jay Z and Alicia Keys. Beautiful models lip singing, great atmosphere... it's another great video, made by great a artist Justin Wu. And may I say, he's state of mind is imperial !!!


Kada je modni svet pun poznatih i talentovanih dizajnera visoke mode, prelepih super modela, brilijantnih glavnih urednika, talentovanih šminkera i frizera, maldih blogera, stilista, odličnih fotografa, tada je teško biti primećen! Ali modni svet uvek ima apetita. On uvek želi više, on je uvek gladan. Pitanje je: Možete li ga nahraniti!?
Justin Wu je odgovorio na ovo pitanje. Kada je ovaj fotograf/režiser počeo da slika fotografije 2007 godine, nije ni slutio da ce njegov hobi postati njegov posao. Ali tek je 2010 napravio veliki proboj. Ubrzo  je svaka modna prestonica znala za njega. New York, Paris, Milan, London... svi su ga želeli, svi su bili "gladni" za njim. Zašto? Njegov lični fotografski stil je bio inovativan, svež, i upravo ono što je modnom svetu bilo potrebno.
U svom intervju-u sa  POSI+TIVE MAGAZINE (koji možete pročitati here), rekao je da inspiraciju pronalazi na ulici, u ljudima i Parizu, gde trenutno živi.
Ali ono što ga čini velikim u ovom poslu, jeste činjenica da voli da se upozna sa modelom, pre nego što započnu rad. "Uvek se trudim da razvijem odnos sa modelom pre snimanja. Ako je to moguće, onda pokušam da ugovorim sastanak dan ranije, ili da popričam sa modelom tokom stavljanja šminke i frizure. To mi pomaže da brzo pokušam da razumem subjekat i predvidim kako će on/ona raditi sa uglovima i kakve emocije oni mogu probuditi u sebi. Srećom sve češće, zato što provodim puno vremena pokušavajući da upoznam subjekat, postanemo dobri prijatelji i ostanemo u kontaktu" kaže Justin.
Trenutno, on radi na novom projektu. To je "kolekcija" sastavljena od mini- filmova. U svakom filmu, poznati i prelepi muški/ženski modeli pevaju poznatu pesmu. Poslednji u nizu je video sa pesmom "Empire State of Mind" od Jay Z-ija i Alicie Keys. Prelepi modeli koji pevaju, odlična atmosfera...to je još jedan sjajan video, napravljen od strane velikog umetnika Justin Wu-a. I ako mogu reći, njegovo stanje uma je imperijalno !!!
