A fantastic Vogue Hong Kong () shoot by Norman Jean Roy () of Anya Taylor-Joy () produced by Alexey Galetskiy () of ( ) / (), with editorial written by Carina Fischer () and featuring lighting and grip equipment from SYNC Photo Rental ().

In Fischer’s article, titled “Anya Taylor-Joy On Dance, Discipline & The Power Of Conviction,” Fischer takes readers on a deep dive into the mind, processes, and inspirations of Anya Taylor-Joy.

As always, Norman Jean Roy’s photos are vibrant, dynamic, and effortlessly elegant. In this series, Roy captures the adventurous soul of this Christian Dior brand ambassador—and her adorable dog, Bartok. Roy’s framing is immaculate, and his adept use of light, contrast, and perspective immerse audiences into a new world every shot. We are extremely pleased to be a part of this NJR project.

In one notable photo, readers will find Anya sitting in one of our director’s chairs, surrounded by SYNC equipment.
