Bangkok: Laika

Added 2024-10-30 13:00:02 +0000 UTC

Thirty year old Laika was a sort of last minute find on my recent trip to Bangkok. Because Bangkok is notoriously challenging for me to find models, I had cast a wide net. Sure, you may look at my posts and see lots of models I've shot in BKK, but the truth is that the vast number of them are last minute and spontaneous ones, as so many of the ones that are planned usually disappear. It never fails and this latest trip was no different. The city and the mindset of the guys who reside there truly is an enigma. All this being said, I love Bangkok and always have and always will, but probably it's best if I leave it for visiting and enjoying the city in the future, as opposed to going there for photoshoots.

Laika and I shot at an abandoned, unfinished house somewhat near to where I was staying. He was a nice guy with the sort of 'normal' guy masculine build (and hair 🔥) that I like - not over done - just a normal looking guy who spends time at the gym. Also, he was more daring that even he expected, it turns out :)

Enjoy!
