Headed over to friend and fellow photographer Dilip Bhoye‘s new D Studio in Taipei the other day. He’s recently moved into a new place and has a good little setup going, with choices of black or white seamless and a set of Bowen’s lights and large range of modifiers. Also joining us was another friend, Josh Ellis. That’s Josh on the left and Dilip on the right in the shot above. We were supposed to be getting together to take some casual studio shots of one of the local expat models but said model was AWOL. After waiting for a couple of hours and being unable to reach him, as well as frantically calling anyone we could think of who might be able to come down on short notice on a cold, rainy Sunday, we ended up just photographing each other until we got bored. Here are a few images from the short session.

The keen-eyed amongst you will notice the Phottix Strato wireless trigger attached to Josh’s camera. These units are proving very popular amongst photographers in Taiwan.

Deep in thought.

In the end we gave up, packed up the studio and headed out. Met up with my wife and Josh’s girlfriend and went to the best tasting and most authentic Thai restaurant in Taipei. It also happens to be one of the cheapest.
