Reza Salleh launched his debut album, Realize, on the 26th of November 2010, at one of the early Moonshine: A Homemade Acoustic Show venues – The Apartment Downtown, KLCC.

Narmi starts the show.

First time I’d ever seen an electric guitar at The Apartment Downtown!

Pedal set! Okay so not the first time I’d seen this here.

The stage was decorated with Reza’s colorful photos.

This time around, I did a fair bit more documentary work – shooting who was there that night, when the other photographers were pointed at the stage. Hello orang Astro!

Jia Wei.

Cheng Vei, orang Astro jugak.

A wide shot. I brought only my NEX-5 with 16mm F2.8 pancake and the Opteka 85mm F1.4, and that was enough.

Where’s Wally?

I had never seen The Apartment Downtown so crowded! This was an amazing sight indeed.

Admittedly, a still audience is much easier to take than a moving musician, especially in low light.

Cool shirt bro!

KLue people.

Standing people.

Reza starting a joke.

Tablas meant the earthy world music of…

Asmidar!

Realized anything about the background?

What, ah? Xtal asks. Why Xtal? You aren’t even black.

Liy to the Fiz. Liyana Fizi!

More F1.4 ISO3200 goodness.

David Knight and his magic guitar and pedals bring you into another dimension, in a far more comfortable way than Radiohead would.

Yes, hypnotizing indeed.

Unfortunately, I had to run, as I had to wake up at 4:30am the next day to shoot a wedding…

Of course, I did not forget to buy his album. 😀 Spot my mention!
