Male Grooming for Kahchun Wong the Halle Orchestras Principal Conductor
@kahchun_music #hairandmakeupartist
What an honour to be invited to this special shoot. So thankful to the team for having me.
Bridgewater Hall holds fond personal memories and so to return again after many years and this time for work was very nostalgic and what felt like a beautiful synchronicity.

Ahead of its 2026/27 Season Launch, I’m so excited to be able to share my work for The Hallé Orchestra (
@the_halle ) shot on location in Manchester earlier this year.
.
At the heart of the new identity is a reimagined version of the Hallé’s iconic ‘H’ — a sweeping lettering first introduced in the 1960s, now reworked as a graphic device that interacts with type and images. Developed by lettering artist Dan Forster (
@danforster ), the elegant motif also captures the essence of an infinity symbol — a nod to the constant innovation at the heart of the Hallé’s enduring passion for music.
.
This was such a fun commission to work on, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The opportunity to work alongside world class musicians is something I will never take for granted, and so I’m absolutely thrilled to be able to share this work with you today.
.
As usual, I couldn’t have accomplished any of this without an amazing team - credits below! Thank you so much to Liz, Pete, Bonnie, Sharyn, and the rest of the team at the Hallé, and look out for more of the images coming soon!!
