Instant Photography, Live Event Photography by LiveStudios

Chopard invited their to valued clients to a treat at the Cannes Film Festival and I had the task of helping to document this memorable trip. Our 3-days trip ended up with about 1500 photos of which the bulk of them were of the guests but I won’t post them on the blog to respect their privacy.

Renowned makeup artist Clarence Lee & hair stylist David Gan were among the entourage to make the guests look their best.

Mattias, high-end jewelry designer team head, was our hospitable host and made sure we were well taken care of.

We were treated with sumptuous spreads of food every meal.

It’s been a hectic few weeks and haven’t been able to update the blogs with our shooting and traveling schedules. Just came back from LA/Las Vegas and didn’t have a chance to spend a night in Singapore before having to fly to Sydney for a wedding. Tiring, but the trip was well worth it. I had such a great time shooting Andrea & David that I didn’t feel the fatigue or hunger till the day after.

The hotel we were staying in is the Sebel @ Pier One, just under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. You couldn’t ask for a better location. Sydney is also one of the more picturesque cities for photography and not too far away from Singapore.

Being at the pier, they decided to do the makeup just outside their suite right at the pier, you could see the reflections of pier 2 in the sliding door.

The whole atmosphere was full of laughter right from the start. Just for the preparation alone, I took almost 900 shots… I usually have time to filter and remove the duplicate shots but everyone was so energised that I couldn’t stop shooting.

One of the nephews of the couple, Matthew was looking at the bride doing the makeup through the glass, I went up and captured him smiling.

The groom surprised the bride with 2 rolls royce to fetch her to the chinese gardens.

The convertible gave us some fun photoshoot opportunities.

The bridal party had lots of fun participating in the shoot as well.

I flew from Los Angeles to Las Vegas was joined by my LiveStudios team to cover the massive convention for AIA Hong Kong. This was held at the famous Venetian Las Vegas.

The Palazzo is the Venetian’s brand new sister property and together with 700+ rooms, they are the largest hotel in room capacity. It’s situated right on the main strip (it’s the 2 buildings in the background, left yellow-lighted one is the Palazzo and the one on the right of it is the Venetian)

The rooms are all suites and are fabulous

Our day trip was to the Grand Canyon and on they way, we passed by Hoover Dam, where a lot of movies have been filmed, including X-Men & Transformers.

Some took the helicopter rides for a breathtaking aerial view of the canyon.

While the bus ride there took about 3 hrs, the ride there was well worth it. The view is spectacular and most took out their cameras happily clicking away while others took some quiet time for some inspirations.

We had the pleasure of being the photographer for the incentive trips for the top performers for AIA Hong Kong. About 200 star performers stayed at the Hyatt Century Plaza hotel in LA and had to tour around some of the highlights of the city.

We took a visit to the Hollywood Walk of the Stars where everyone took photos with the stars on the floors and the costume characters on the street.

We then visited Universal Studios where the main highlight was the tour where we were shown how some of the hollywood special effects were done.
