Instant Photography, Live Event Photography by LiveStudios

Before you go, Wego! Cute Wego searches through 100+ travel sites in the time that it takes you to search one. Formerly known as Bezurk which I keep hearing in the Web in Travel conference I shoot for annually, it’s re-branded to a catchier and IMHO a more marketable name. The new site http://wego.com is friendly and easier to use too.

To make it more memorable for the guests, Wego hired models to pose with guests and they could choose from various backgrounds like a beach, Paris, Spain & Tokyo. It takes just over a minute to process each photo with the help of a semi-automated program I wrote. This is commonly known as green-screen technology but I prefer using a plain white background for various reasons that’s too tedious to discuss on the blog.

The superimposed prints were printed in 4R size and was only given to guests after the new brand was announced by the team.

Photocards were also printed with the Wego – Travel Search logo branding and given to the guests.

The sheer number of plasma screens in Barfly made it really exciting to take a photo and within seconds be surrounded by your own photos everywhere along the walls

Barfly had a nice ambience and just notice the number of Plasma screen they had on the walls.

We used a white backdrop for the screen. The models had a fun time as well.

Photocards were put on the wall where guests would exit where they just picked their own photos off.

Sagatiba launched their brand in Singapore at the Marriott Pool Grill. It’s a Brazilian spirit that’s distilled from sugarcane and is used for Caipirintha, Brazil’s famed lime and sugar cocktail.

The evening was beautiful as the sky turned dark… kinda funny how the lighted construction cranes actually makes the shot look interesting.

The organisers did a great job with the invites… We do a lot of events but I’m impressed with this one. A lot of familiar faces and A-list guests turned up for a night of drinking and mingling. Guests were given photocards as a memento to help remember the night with old and new friends.

The lighting was great around the area for photography as well. Of course our new cameras helped to bring out the ambient lights, which would have been quite impossible to catch during events.

There was Brazilian music, models & fire breathers to entertain the guests.

The unique part about the Pool Grill is being able to hold a fashion show right in the water.

LG launched what I think is a really clever marketing campaign. They hired movie director David Nutter to produce a TV series and challenged the whole world to discover the secret of the elusive Scarlet. Take a look at http://www.scarletseries.tv/

The event was held at the Singapore Flyer and the setup looks very glamorous and posh.

Many familiar faces turned up keen to find out who Scarlet really is.

LG’s business partners had a great time catching up with each other and mingling with the personalities.

EA (Electronic Arts) held it’s party showcasing a to-be-released game called Rock Band on the Xbox 360. Guests were invited to the top of Singapore at the Swissotel helipad.

Due to a limitation to the number people allowed on the helipad (74th floor) at any one time, the guests had to be split to have some hands on the games on the 69th floor. I ran up and down so many times I could have done the entire vertical marathon.

Hosted by Cortina Watch, the launch was held at the JetQuay Terminal at Changi for the CIP (Commercially Important People). Those who want more information can go to the Porsche Design official website. It was a great setup as usual arranged by Mercury MC and Magdalene See from Fly Entertainment was the bubbly emcee for the evening.

Myself and David took a chance to take a shot with the Porsche Cayman S before the crowd came in.

Guests mingled and chatted in the lounge area first.

When they revealed new range, some of the lucky guests had a chance to examine the $200k+ watch up close.

The Singapore Marriott launched a club for the welfare of their staff. They affectionately call it Club B2 and we have to admit it’s quite something to be jealous about.

It’s got not one game console but 2 of the hottest game consoles in the market; the Sony Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii. 2 OSIM iDesire Massage chairs. A comfortable TV lounge, sleeping rooms, a nicely designed cafe, locker room with rain showers etc.. Wow..

They got us to do the full service including photocard printing for the staff and media guests as well as our digital guestbook. Here’s the owner, Mr Tang having his hands on the guestbook.

The staff and guests had their hands on the guestbook as well.

Yasmin from Gold 90.5fm did a live broadcast from Club B2. There was a news article on Straits Times as well.

We set one camera on colour and one on black and white to get candid shots.

Many of you must have heard this blasting over the radio for the past week or read about it on the papers. Audi brought in the 3 racing legends and had them usher in it’s droolsome Audi R8.

Here’s the custom card back that behind all the photocard printed out.

Some of the lucky invited guests got to bring home a very intricate model of the R8. Our photocard sits nicely in it’s case as a momento of the launch.

Some of the guests had a nice up close experience with the legends

Minister Mah Bow Tan was also there to meet the people behind the launch.

Guess opted for black & white photocard prints in line with their branding.

They look great and everyone went crazy picking off their photos which we stuck on a huge photowall.
