Iyona in MAXIM Magazine

By Robert • April 1, 2006

Robert was perusing the newly released April edition of MAXIM Singapore (checking out the photography, of course) when I came across an article on Iyona Chandran. Iyona is a quite well-known model/dancer here on the Red Dot. She started modeling at the age of 14 and after a slow start turned to dancing (belly and other) to make ends meet. Her career has really taken off in the last year or so with an appearance on Channel News Asia’s Get Real, a previous layout in MAXIM, and a layout in the Sunday Times. There is a huge demand for her at club events, motorshows, and tradeshows. According to The Newpaper, she has been hired for several commercials and club shows in Hong Kong. In addition, she will appear in a music video for a Hong Kong singer. In May, she’s launching her own line of bikinis.

Rather than post a scan from MAXIM, I went through my events photo archives and found the above shot of Iyona taken at Big.Boyz.Toyz last November. Don’t expect perfection… this is not a studio shot. It’s just a snap taken in the corner of the exhibition hall. I used a Canon EOS 20D, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, and a Speedlite 580EX flash. Image was taken using the P-mode, f/4 and 1/60 sec, with flash compensation +1/3 at ISO 400.
