And MOST IMPORTANTLY, please SHOW RESPECT TO THE LADIES WHO APPEAR IN THIS STREAM. Rude or disrespectful comments are not tolerated. The models themselves are here visiting my stream very often. Let's keep it appropriate please. Failure to do so, will result in your account being immediately blocked.

About the stream

First, please note, I am the PHOTOGRAPHER. I am not one of the ladies in the photos. The ladies are models, friends, and other wonderful women who have agreed to model for me and my camera.

My goal? Quite simply, my photostream is designed to highlight the beauty of Asian women- in a artistic, tasteful way.

My approach to model photography is less glamourous and more of a contemporary Asian "photobook style." My photos tend to be more fun, fresh, and highlighting a model's natural beauty.


Model Photography

Working with models is an off-shoot of my original interest in street photography. I am available for and am always interested in pursuing professional photo opportunities with Asian women. This can be a professional request (to add to your portfolio, to develop a specific concept or theme, etc.). It also could be to simply provide you with professionally looking casual photos. If you are interested in working with me, please contact me via the website below


About the photographer

I am a Kanaka Maoli, or Native Hawaiian and so I share a special connection with Asia. In fact, my friends say that I have yellow fever - an "Asian Infatuation" if you will- because of my interest in all things associated with the culture and beauty of that great continent.

Photography is a serious hobby. I do not make my living through photography, though it may seem that way. I live in the Pacific NW and am able to travel frequently as part of my job.


About my group - Asian Girl Next Door

I am a co-administrator of a group- Asian Girl Next Door. This is a family friendly group, with 111,000+ photos and 6100+ members. If I have invited your photo to our group, it is because I feel your photo would be a welcome addition- but please, if I offend you in anyway through my invitation, know that I apologize. Please let me know and I will not extend any further comments or invites.


15,000,000 Views?!?!?

Lastly, in August, I've reached 15 million views! And so, I'd like to extend 10 million thanks... to those Flickr members who have supported me since this journey began... but even more importantly, to the lovely Asian ladies who have agreed to step in front of my camera, that have made this photostream possible!

    "I don't know Teban personally, only though his wonderful images and thoughtful comments here on Flickr and Model Mayhem. What can I say that hasn't already been said about his work?

    Teban brings us beautiful images shot in exotic locations all over the world. The composition and lighting are superb. I find his photos either make you say WOW or simply take your breath away- or both in many cases. He is a gentleman with great respect for his models as people rather than objects as is often the case it seems.

    Thank you Teban for enriching our world with beauty, teaching us and making us smile. You are unique, in a very good way."

    "Teban,
    Your photography is not only exceptional but, it is an art of perfection.
    Your attention to detail and quality is always shown in your photographys each they are posted. You don't realize how much your photography has affected alot of us here on Flickr. Your work has not only changed the way I approach my camera but has also changed my camera view of life. Each day I look at your photostream to see which of your famous poses is being used. I always seem to learn something new each day from your pictures.

    You are often imitated but never duplicated!!!!
    I will forever be your student!"

    "The aspect that sets your photos apart to me is the uncanny way in which you are able to draw out something of the character of the women you photograph. Fashion photography draws the eye to the garments, but your photos draw the eye to the women themselves, not just their undoubted physical beauty...Anton"

    "Teban is one of the finest "pure" photographers I have ever had the pleasure to know. He treats his beautiful models with the utmost respect. He then takes the most glorious photos. You can actually see the trust and sense of true and honest respect on each models face. The fact that so many amateur and professional photographers come to Asian impressions is certainly NO accident. He knows how to reach out and contact his models with his camera. They just seem to move in the ways he wants without effort as if they were connected by an invisible bond...and they truly are. the bond of mutual respect and trust. I feel Teban is the finest photographer on Flickr. When I go on Flickr, the first place I go is to Teban's "Asian Impressions" and I have never been disappointed. I want to take a moment to thank him for all the absolutely gorgeous photos he has been so very kind to share with us. Thousands of incredible photos and hundreds of beautiful models....all excellent photos!!! Thank you Teban for all the joy your talent has brought to all of us. Thank you!!!!

    "Finding attractive Asian women on flickr is usual.
    Finding scenes of Flora and park settings are in abundance as well.
    Combining the 2 takes skill, as the photography of Asian.Impressions captures the interest of asia in any natural settings.
    What I love about Asian.Impressions subjects is that they are not over-imposed, overly "maked-upped" or demand attention. The subjects compliment the surroundings perfectly!"

    "Talk about Asian.impressions is very difficult, because i don't know how to begin, he's a very good photographer, he got style and good taste to shoot the perfect moment with the perfect model, or the perfect street situation.

    The other thing is, he has time to answer every comment i make in his photostream, this says so much about him as a person, it's a very cool thing.

    I'm very proud to have him in my contacts, thanks for the stunning Asian Impressions!!"
