Followers of all things Dope/What’s Good? will no doubt know that we are releasing our first “collection” of clothing really soon.

I recently conducted the photoshoot for the collection at Exposure Hair Studio in Penang.

Jamen is a good mate of mine and one of the owners of Exposure, who was kind enough to offer his place to us for the shoot as well as take care of all the hair styling on the night.

My models for this shoot were my buddy Jun and the absolutely gorgeous Shandy, a brand new face who was introduced to me by Jamen (being one of Penang’s top hair stylists means that he knows ALL the most beautiful women in Penang)

Here’s Ed showing Jun and Shandy how to pose. Hahaha

Why is Ed’s face so red? Hmm.

This was probably one of the quickest shoots I have ever done as both models were complete naturals and sometimes one shot was all it took for me to get exactly  what I wanted.

I was really happy with the results and hope you guys will like the shots too!

Here’s one of my favorite Ts from the collection, inspired by my love of comics, and is a throwback to the old pulp comics from the 60s and 70s … and of course the situation described here is something every sneakerhead can relate to.

Mako-chan, one of Jun’s friends, was visiting from Japan so she got to see first hand how we do shit in Penang.

And do you know what is the most important thing that I must have on hand at all my shoots to make them go smoothly and get my creative juices flowing?

Vodka.

Vodka vodka vodka … a drink or 2 or 3 is all it takes to get everyone in the mood …

Now you know why Ed’s face was so red, right?

Thanks to Jamen and Exposure Hair Studio for donating their time/space/talent to our shoot.

Super thanks to Jun and Shandy for being such wonderful models.
