Like so many of us that have ex-patriated from the US to Asia, Jesse eventually landed in Hong Kong. He originally met his fiancé Julie in Washington DC and proposed to her in their prior city – Taipei. They have been living in HK for a few years now, so they already had some ideas for shots to take. We chatted over coffee and decided on a very casual engagement portrait session at a few locations they particularly liked – SoHo Mid-levels, Central and Shek O.

Julie and Jesse are getting married next year in Honduras!

Headshots with Jackson in Mid-levels Hong Kong

Gary Jackson is a writer, comedian, public speaker, blogger, podcaster, DJ and all around gweilo of Hong Kong. Jackson performs regularly at the TakeOut Comedy Club in SoHo, but you can find his many web presences on letterstowindsor.com, gweilojackson.com and soulparking.com.

Nothing beats natural light for headshot portraits, so we did a lot of the shooting on the balcony of his Mid-levels flat. We also walked around some of the local HK backstreets and finished up at the Pacific Coffee on Hollywood Road, his favorite writing spot.
