The Nuyou Singapore January 2014 cover shoot is softly lit and simply shot, a style that is beautifully welcomed after the slew of elaborate and rich photoshoots conducted for the holiday season. Yet that isn't to say that the looks are lacking in elegance or glamor, it's simply more subdued.
Shot primarily in black and white by photographer Wee Khim, the Nuyou Singapore January 2014 cover shoot takes place in studio. Full of light and shadows, the images are enchanting. This has much to do with model Xiao Wen Ju's presence, of course. Embracing a stoic expression, she complements the relaxed yet sophisticated wardrobe perfectly. She was styled by Johnny Khoo with hair by Edward Chong and makeup by Peter Khor.
