Singapore-born Russel is one of the most well-known names working in photography today. His big break came as a 19 year-old student in Oregon, equipped only with “a $20 flash and a roll of Kodachrome.” Capturing the likes of Sebastian Coe and Carl Lewis among other sporting stars for the Nike brand, Russel’s career soon lead him into the world of fashion and eventually to Hollywood. More recently he has been working the sets of Chinese blockbusters, such as Lee Ang’s "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Zhang Yimou’s "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers."
