A boy and his guitar.

I was introduced to Chuan Foo whom I had the privilege of photographing in Malaysia. This opportunity was pure kismet, as we shot just two hours before my departure to Penang. The photoshoot took place on the beautiful grounds of a golf resort, where we happened across a lovely little pond. Can you believe that this is just outside bustling Kuala Lumpur?

There is something wonderful about meeting other creatives. We may express our passions through entirely different mediums, but when you click – you just click. Chuan braved the heat and humidity of Malaysia and did a rockin’ job on this shoot which will be used for his upcoming EP. Not only did he rival the weather in sizzling my new lens, he is a wonderful musician and the first of my models to serenade me while behind the camera (haha.. just kidding!) That said, I really hope to have captured some of his artistic style, blending it with my own. At the very least, I had an amazing soundtrack in the background!

Chuan, thanks for shooting with me. I wish you all the best on your upcoming EP! Check out his cover of MJ’s Man in the Mirror on youtube.
