Melbourne-based fashion photographer She Is Frank is the creator behind the Kung Pao photo shoot. The model featured in the spread is Claire Collins and the stylist is Kate Carnegie.
Oriental-syled shoots are certainly not a new concept in the fashion world, however this vibrant shoot manages to stand out from the rest. The spread heavily features a strong color scheme of reds and oranges and doesn't shy away from shiny fabrics with bold patterns. The spread is set in an Asian-themed restaurant and the model is seen sprawled all over it while making sure to use the many props of the restaurant. The most striking image of the collection is one where Collins is seen chowing down on some egg rolls, thus proving that maybe models aren't scared of eating.
