This photo book entitled 好色 Amorous will document the journey that Shin Kou Sabre takes with her experiences with working with photographers/artists locally and internationally. Each piece will be unique to the photographer's and artists own style. When an artist is featured more than once, it is anticipated that one piece of work will vary in style and emotion to the other, to show the versatility of the artist.

A collaboration was made with a selection of photographers and artists. Each person involved in the set had an opportunity to select some of their favourite photos. The final photographs have been decided upon according to the narrative of the series.

Each photographer/artist varies from a novice to some of the most highly skilled and respected artists of their field. Their background, style, influences and their thoughts and emotions all guided the outcome of the body of work.

Although it has been amost 5 years since the beginning of this project, it has been an incredible expedition with insights on the experiences and photos as the model.
