WESLEY YAP IN

PORTRAITS • DEC 2010 • THE TAMARIND, KUALA LUMPUR

Another attempt at the unfamiliar realms of studio photography, and my second collab with Wesley Yap.

Thanks Wesley for going back to basics in your birthday suit on your birthday itself haha, and for reliving your days as a heavy smoker. Two cigars (which ran out faster than I could shoot) and 5 sticks of saat shouldn't be sufficient for a relapse of this bad habit i hope? I'll pray for you. :P

Special thanks to Mum for heading out to get us the cigs and lighter during setup and then for obediently staying in your bedroom after that (as usual) and also for playing it cool when Wesley accidentally flashed at you when running to the washroom. Muaks.

STUDIO GEARS: * Speedlite on stand as single lightsource, umbrella as modifier.
