Shoot: David Kim
August 17, 2009  |  by William Zhou  |  Photography

Rushing for the sunset to do a simple shoot for my friend, David (@devkim), for his online portfolio and social media avatar, I came back quickly from dinner. By the time we’re out in the park, we almost had no light. I had to borrow my friend, Kevin, to do a little assistant work for me. I decided to drop a light stand in the middle of the field (screw shooting permits, it’s too dark to see anyways).

Simple 45 degree strobe shoot through umbrella, most-boring set up, made the shots below. It turned out to be quite mysterious. That and the sky and the not-able-to-pose, David, created something unique.

Bonus: experimental shot, shot in complete darkness. The flash was fired through a bunch of stuff, mainly, a logo of our apartment.

Who’s idea was it to shoot in the park again? We were attacked by a bunch of mosquitos. So far, I’ve counted 5 bites.
