Corporate Photoshoot with Kyan Soo Wei Qiang

Kyan is the male model for the shoot for Joy's book release. He's a stylish guy who knows well what he wants but will also spend within his limit. No doubt, he's good with his personal grooming.

He kindly allowed us to use his very well-designed house for the shoot. We even had to shift his furniture a little in order to set up the backdrop. Even though he was very friendly, I was initially quite afraid to mess up his place; and I realisd I was just being over-cautious for he was very accommodating.

The weight and bulkiness of my equipment were terrifying and even though I had a lift from Joy, I had to pull a trolley along. Since the bearings of my trolley were damaged and the wheels couldn't be tightened, there was a big risk that the trolley would become a burden instead. I was lucky for the day. For the lighting setup, I used two portable studio strobes and a speedlite unit to brighten the backdrop, making the best use of the environment possible.

Kyan was a charming and natural model. His charisma and confidence kept the shoot smooth, such that we were able to accomplish the project within schedule. We actually spent more time going through some stock images and studying the flaws.

I was glad to be able to work with the team.
