“Ron, we need you to think urban,” challenged my editor at FPG International, one of the leading stock photography agencies in the 1990s. “Your work is getting noticed, but now we need not only urban but a more international look.”⁣ ⁣ Charlotte was far from looking like an international city. Most of my shoots were mainstream for the time: blonde, blue-eyed families having fun on the beach. The images sold well. No complaints. My editor was encouraging me to get ahead of the curve. The Asian, European, and South American markets were catching on, and they needed faces that looked like their customers.⁣ ⁣ While I couldn’t make Charlotte look like Barcelona or Paris, I could diversify my talent casting. My production coordinator started looking through the model books. Fortunately, Anne Ray Swindell of The Talent Connection had just updated the model cards and recommended we consider a new model, Chi Phan, for our shoots.⁣ ⁣ Thirty years later, I came across folders of negatives from those shoots. While the scanner whirred, the light pulsing through the negatives, I did a quick Google search for Chi. She immediately showed up. She’s a photographer now, with her contact information on her website.⁣ ⁣ Nervously, I dropped her a short message.⁣ ⁣ “Chi, this is Ron Chapple. We shot together in the mid-1990s.”⁣ ⁣ Seven seconds later, Chi replied: ‘I was just thinking about you!”⁣ ⁣ The cosmic consciousness was working.⁣ ⁣ After chatting for a few minutes, I asked if I could post a few photos and if she would share what she remembered from the shoots.⁣ ⁣ Read Chi’s unedited words in the rest of the post on my website - link on my profile - go to the Words section.
