Telling Stories in Kuala Lumpur

12 August 2007
The workshop was like a movie set--I wrote a story last May and sent it to Kharu.
How would we shoot the scenes?
What colors? Which expressions suited each emotion?
The workshop focused on creating stories in each picture, a sense of wonder in the viewer--why this?
So in the middle of sweltering 40 degree-Celsius heat in an abandoned bungalow in Malaysia,
15 photographers attempted to tell the story of the seasons.
Here are some takes from a few participants, and the story behind the shots.
The title of each photograph is the photographer's name.
This story will be updated.

Sean Leong Siew Wah Winter

Flurries. Storms. Freezing. Bundled. Withered.

Winter has its own lexicon, and the sounds roll off like hailstones on a rooftop, or hiss, like coffee spilled on snow.

Sean's image carries the impression we tried to create in this set, the wall providing a sense of snowfall with its pockmarked surface. The blending of the wall into white air gives this image a sensory context.
