Koy Ya

During a recent holiday in Thailand we found the Happy Snapper Bar which was a great music venue in Khao Lak.  There we saw Koy Ya performing.  She had long orange hair, tattoos and wore a short tartan mini skirt and black crochet crop top.  Jo decided to ask her if she wanted to do a photo shoot with me.  Koy Ya said yes and we set one up.  I had no studio equipment with me so we worked with the light from the bar and some pretty pathetic illumination from a couple of smart phones.  With the pool table in the bar there was a photo I wanted to try.  This is the result (after a little bit of tinkering on the computer) and on Monday it won “Action” photo of the year at Southampton Camera club.  I really liked this photo but when you are so closely involved in the setting up and production of something like this you have a lot of emotion attached to it which can affect your judgement so it’s great when you find other people like it too.

Thank you Koy Ya.
