Tatler Ball 2025: An Odyssey to Harmony
Inhale the present, exhale the past, and smile to the future.

A project with @tatlerasia, envisioned as a journey into balance, beauty, and connection — celebrating the power of harmony.

Creative direction by Hugo Belloy (@hugobelloy) of Dreams & Dreams, with Rosanna Wong (@rosanna.wong) as Creative Coordinator and William Mak (william__mak) as Graphics Designer.
Produced in collaboration with Visionnaire (@visionnaire.co).

A moment captured through the poetic eye of @derryainsworth — a tapestry of colour, detail, and emotion. His lens reveals not only the grandeur of the evening but also the human essence behind it: the artists, the craft, and the quiet synergy that brought it all to life.

Performances
Introduction — Kin Leonn (@kinleonn)
Second Act — Kenta Hayashi (@kenta124hayashi) & Dragon Sound (@dragonsoundhk)
Choreography by Faris Azim (farisazim)
Performance by Zeppo Youngsterz (@zeppoyoungsterz)
Magic — Anna Deguzman (@annadeguzman)
Closing Act — Jodok Cello (@jodokcello)

Together, these artists brought to life a night honouring visionaries of impact — Ray and Mark Dalio, Amanda Nguyen, Lhakpa Sherpa, and Lee Jung-jae.

unique perspectives of Hong Kong
by Derry Ainsworth

Castle Peak 青山 ⛰️ or Pui To Shan (杯渡山) is a 583-metre high peak in western New Territories, Hong Kong. It is known as one of the three sharp summits in Hong Kong because of its steep slopes. Views of Tuen Mun, Yuen Long Pak Nai can be seen from the top, and even the airport and the Shenzhen Deep Bay are within sight on a clear day. #discoverhongkong #hknature #hongkonghikes #castlepeak

Tokyo through my lens.
After a few visits to the city I find myself coming to terms with the noise and chaos of Tokyo a little bit more, a city where you can quite easily be overwhelmed and overstimulated by everything going on. I’ve spent a long time over the past few weeks obsessing on capturing and freezing little moments of that chaos in my camera. I was lucky to go to many summer festivities across the city and capture the amazing energy of the locals here. As ever, I want to create imagery that is unique and original, avoiding copy cat instagram cliches and IG spots. When I go out to shoot, it’s true exploration and how I react to my surroundings is a culmination of my experience as a photographer in many different fields. Ultimately I aim for my work to give you a true sense of place. These are some of my first selects from my trip, got more to come. Let me know which you like in the comments 🇯🇵 #tokyo #japan
