JOIE ENTOTE
BIO:
Joie Entote, a stylist, photographer, and aspiring creative director, made the move
to Sydney to pursue her long-time dream of a career in design earlier in 2022. Back
home, she comes from a tightly knit Chinese family and was brought up among
modernised traditional culture which has inspired her personal style and mindset.
Developing interests in multiple areas of design, her best work has been found
to be in food, fashion, interior, and lifestyle photography as well as pencil-based
illustrations.
Joie has spent most of her life under the Philippine sun and translates this
love of light into all of her projects; playing with different angles of lighting and
communicating depth through shadows and highly detailed shots has always been
key elements for her.
Always grateful for where she comes from, Joie credits and dedicates all of her
work to the most supportive family one will ever know. This sense of groundedness
intertwined with her current yet cultural flair are what set her apart from her peers.

PROJECT STATEMENT:
Driven by deep-rooted ties and the colour red, GENESIS is a fashion and lifestyle
editorial that features new Chinese style and combines this with traditional
elements and organic shapes to tell a contemporary story of heritage. Playing
between concepts of surrealism and simplicity, this piece celebrates a fusion of my
personal appreciation of the rich customs I come from with the towering role that
China plays in today’s luxury lifestyle landscape. Highlighting a sense of elegance
and power throughout its pages, GENESIS shares a similar objective with emerging
young creatives— to globalise modern East Asian style and culture.
