Maggie Q

Maggie Q (half Vietnamese, half Caucasian) did it again! After appearing in Mission: Impossible III alongside Tom Cruise, she now shares the silver screen with Bruce Willis in Live Free or Die Hard (Die Hard 4).

She once said: “Not only do I not want to be stereotyped as this Asian girl who fights – gee, what a wonder – but also I have more to offer than that.” I wonder if her agent heard this, cuz in this movie she is kicking ass again!Ohw, and don’t let the FBI attire fool you, she plays the bad guy… eh… girl! Niiiiice.

Love Asia 2006 – Part 1. From the stunning vistas of Langkawi island to the bustling urban landscape of Kuala Lumpur, the programme follows 10 Asian models as they work and relax during a photo shoot with acclaimed photographer Leslie Kee.

Erika Snyder: experimental photographer & model

Erika Snyder (self-portrait)

Erika Snyder is a 19 year old ‘experimental photographer’ and model from Japan. She is half Japanese, half Caucasian.

She does all her own marketing on the web via various sites as Myspace, Flickr and deviantART. Unfortunately there is no YouTube account yet.Personally I love her work (although I think she should experiment a bit more with distant shots, she seems to really like the close-up thing! ;-)), but I am sure you guys have someting to say about it as well.

Daphny @ flickr.com (Photo by Swanky)

Swanky is NOT the name of the model above, but of the photographer I found at flickr. Swanky lives in the city of Taipei, which is a rather crowded city in Taiwan. He is currently a student, majoring in computer sciences. But he is also a photographer, but not a professional one. The model above is Daphny. There are 205 photos of her.

Well, Swanky may not be a professional, as he himself states in his profile, but his portraits of Asian ladies look fantastic. Check out his flickr selection.
