THROUGH MY LENS
One last look at the season, through an artist’s point of view.

ISSUE: Winter 2010
“Last winter, when work presented an opportunity for a three-day trip to Seoul, I jumped at the chance. On our half day off, I was able to roam the famous street markets and, despite the freezing cold, there was such activity! I just love street food and even though it was a total freezing cold spell, all the street food stalls were open and getting ready for the lunch crowds. I took this photo of a huddle of merchant ladies who were sharing a lunch not only as a communal meal but to brace against the cold.
“I got to experience the street food that I loved as a child and reminisce for a few carefree hours. I plan on going back as soon as possible, but perhaps during a more palatable season.”
— Audrey Cho, Los Angeles, Calif.

ANNA M. PARK | Editor-in-Chief
ANNA M. PARK spent six years as a corporate bankruptcy attorney before realizing that she’d rather swim with sharks in Moorea, trek through remote mountain villages in the northern Philippines, and, most frighteningly, brave a commuter bus in Seoul during rush hour, than spend another day writing legal briefs. Today, she is an award-winning writer and editor-in-chief of Audrey Magazine. The best part of her second career? She gets to wear whatever she wants. |

Our Fall 2010 issue is here! Audrey intern Han Cho gives us a sneak peek into our fall cover shoot with stylist Chriselle.

At the Americana at Brand in Glendale, Calif., I found myself holding a large styrofoam board to help Audrey Magazine‘s staff photographer Audrey Cho shoot Courtney Jane, our cover model. It wasn’t that hot, but I found myself perspiring in my skinny jeans, standing in the sun for so long.
This was my first photo shoot, and it was cool to see how the issue was slowly being put together. Chriselle had artfully put together standout outfits while Courtney Jane was getting her makeup and hair done. The Americana also had residences surrounding the main plaza, so we found ourselves getting ready for the shoot in one of the homes on the third floor. We had a balcony that had a nice view of the fountain and the surrounding stores.

The dressing area was girl heaven. There was jewelry spread out all over the coffee table in the living room, shoes of all sorts lined neatly against the wall, and a rack waiting to break from the weight of all the clothes hanging from it. Bags spilled over the counter, and I carefully stood back, afraid my klutzy side would emerge and ruin thousands of dollars worth of fashion and accessories.
Girl heaven! Chriselle pulled a lifetime's worth of goodies for our shoot. Photo courtesy of @CHRISELLEtweets.
We shot at multiple locations, all scattered and tucked into the nooks and crannies of the Americana. Many people stopped to take a peek at the production, with Courtney Jane at the center of it all, modeling the clothes. All in all, it was a pretty cool day.
