Portraits of Raphael le Masne de Chermont at Shanghai Tang

Business portraits in Hong Kong come with a unique set of challenges: The spaces available are usually cramped, boxy and beige; available time is often limited, and the personalities involved are frequently temperamental. Lucky for me, Raphael le Masne de Chermont has an exceptionally genial temperament and the Shanghai Tang boutique in Central is far more shapely than most other retail spaces in Hong Kong.

These images are from a cover story for Macau Inc and follow a familiar format for business feature stories: A cover and interior portrait packaged along with general feature pictures (architectural interiors of the showroom in this case).
