Hey all,
While back in Bangkok it was time again for the monthly Reggae party. Pretty much the same crowd, plus a few extras… like every reggae party. The party was good, lots of people this time - the Xmas Reggae party wasn’t as full as these parties normally get.

Hey all,
I’ll be heading back to Bangkok tonight. I have a shoot with Horizons (pictured above). They used to be a branch of Casa Pagoda, but re-branded and launched a new store with 4 floors. 2 floors are divided into “light” style furnishings and 2 floors are “dark”. Should be fun.
Then it’s probably off to shoot the Theme Club party on Friday and surprise, surprise Reggae at Glow on Saturday.
I’ll hit up a nice restaurant on Thursday for a new side project I’m working on and will make it to Soi Polo for their phenomenal garlic fried chicken and som tam on Saturday for lunch. Hopefully will have some time to get a haircut and hit up MBK for some odds and ends as well.
Anyone needing to reach me that’s located in Thailand, I’ll have my old number on this trip so give me a call.

PS - The shot above is mine for them from last November. Notice the raking of light across the top of the fabric to pull the green color out 
If you shoot something like this with direct flash the couch will appear almost black. It was an odd shoot, she wanted it to appear dark overall, but wanted the couch to show up lighter than it normally appears to the eye.
Hey all,
It’s that time again. Another reggae party at Glow. This was, I think, the 15th party for this production team and I think the 6th I’ve photographed for them at Glow. At this point I know the people that are going to turn up, who’s going to bring a dressed up dog, and I’m even learning the songs.
I really love the reggae version of Country Roads Take Me Home
So for this one I tried to push the pictures a tiny bit more. I opted for extremely long exposures to really blur the lights and leave trails. These parties always have so much energy and I wanted to try and convey that in the pictures. This isn’t a Bed party, people aren’t standing around wanting to be seen… If you want to impress people at one of these parties you need to be dancing.
Hopefully they’ll continue on at Glow next year. If you’re feeling like you want to dance go check one out.
Paul
