In speaking with two out of three founders of Say Chunkie! Studio, they divulge a few details of the portraiture studio's next "season". Not much to go on, but enough to captivate especially when one considers the larger-than-life approach they adopt to the ideal of memory-making.

Mayle Kor, Ryan Wong and Chang Ying En are busy in the notso-proverbial studio - storming up the next big, conceptual draw that has proven successful in attracting an alternative clientele, motivated in the art of capturing that moment in time. A couple of weeks after the interview, the band of creatives unveiled a festive theme, complete with a colossal reindeer and a frosty, alpine backdrop all hand-made and imbued with an "artisanal" touch. Concepts that have realised prior include grandiose flora and fauna, and bespoke mise-en-scènes that teleport to elusive parts of the globe. Recurring through every season though, is a 1980s glamour signature that stands out among the intricacies crafted by the team.
