LID & LET LIVE by ChuanLooi

Lit & Let Live

As you can see my big title, LID & LET LIVE, Yes! Yes! It was the coolest yet unique photography exhibition I went recently. Lid & Let Live were launched at the Avenue K(opposite KLCC if you wonder where) Level 1, it began on the 18th of January till 26  of January 2014. I'm glad that I get to explore this exhibitioned although it just exhibit for a short period. Yesssza!!!

At first, I had no idea what's going on with this monochromatic constructions in and outside of the shop lot that located at the corner. So I just bumped in randomly since it was an exhibition why not! It made me so curious and it was interesting with the monochromes which is my favorite theme. 

Photo taken secretly in a small room while listening to the sound track. 

The first thing I realized from looking at those photos, models are captured with their eyes lidded in the photos with the nature of the expression, it reveals their subconscious self in each and every photo. It clearly bring out the background and personalities of each models by understanding their body language.  'the fraction of a second flaw between eye contacts with camera lens, as if a picture with a lidded eye is always unmistakably flawed.' Quote from Chuan Looi's fb page. What a brilliant idea! Models are from the age of 6 to 60, most of them are local artist and a few blogger as well.

And by attending this exhibition, it introduced me Chuan Looi. Chuan Looi is a fashion photographer/director based in KL. He owns a studio named yipieyaya studio with his partner-Kres Kuang (well known makeup artist). He works with several local and foreign fashion brand, magazines and celebrites. His wealth of experience and passion in both fashion and people photography make him an influential figure in the fashion industry both in Malaysia and overseas. Aside from photography, Chuan Looi has directed several music videos and short films for local artists. His dream is to hold a photographic exhibition where he can showcase his wide array of work which he hope can be done during end of year 2010. 

After all, I enjoyed and impressed by this fantastique exhibition of Chuan Looi.
