Just over an hour from the bustling polluted city of
Bangkok, the air cleared up. With clean air surrounding me, it was no easier to
breath with the weight of a million micron sized water droplets marching over
me like a stampede of elephants. Humidity here was quite possibly the highest I
have experienced outside of being submersed in water. With humidity at such high levels, my fears
of blood sucking mosquitoes were at an all time high. It must be the birds or
the bats in the area because not a single mosquito was to be seen, rather
hundreds if not thousands of beautiful butterfly fluttering by.
The entire team was awesome to work with. While not perfect
just about everyone spoke some degree of English which makes communication far
easier. Fortunately as well I wasn’t receiving command like “big pose”, “more
attitude” or “cool guy”. Those of course are the standards things photographers
ask for. For you rookie models, “cool guy” is just smile without teeth.
Once you get into modelling more, you have your cues. Of
course the biggest cue is *click* . The click of the shutter is what tells you
to move. Every time I hear that sound on set I know to move. When you move, you
literally just move. No thinking, it becomes a flow of eyes, arms, legs and
torso any number of directions. Off set, my ears perk up like a dog when a can
of tuna is opened. Unfortunately due to the nature of our location we had a
generator booming the song of its people (brrrrrrrrrrrrrr). Making due with
instinct I continued my flow hoping things would turn out for the best.
Unfortunately I can’t share any of those photos but here are
a few on location and behind the scenes shots.
