UNDER MY SKIN UNDER MY SKIN Lenoir's 3D pencil sketch of an espresso pot. What is your favourite childhood memory? Waking up to the smell of my Nonna's polenta bread and Bolognese sauce cooking in the kitchen. What is a hidden talent of yours? I love dabbling in slow motion photography and have picked up the skill of 3D pencil sketching. What is your favourite form of relaxation? I find studio photography very relaxing and fulfilling. However, right now, I am spending most weekends sketching 3D pencil drawings – I find each three to four hour block spent drawing incredibly relaxing. Where was your last holiday spent? Roaming the vast lands of Iceland in a campervan with my family. Much of our time was spent driving from location to location, in search for the perfect outdoor BBQ spot with a killer view. What is it that brings a big smile to your face? Watching my daughters having fun with one another in their silly ways. What do you consider your greatest achievement? Being part of building a close-knit family with our kids, parents, brothers and sisters even though we live on different continents. If you stopped work tomorrow, what would you do? Set up a photo studio. Which words or phrases do you most over use? "Cool!" and "Guys!" often together… How would you describe your management style? Working with people and not having people working for you. What's your favourite world city, and why? Singapore lah! All my closest friends live here and my girls love it and call it home. Is there a motto that drives the way you live and/or work? Nothing creative but life is short! Which living person inspires you, and why? My father...he would love reading this! What do you consider your greatest indulgence? Disappearing into a great TV series for hours at a time. What would you like to have inscribed on your tombstone? My name spelled correctly.
