Launch photographer London.
Last weekend Richard, my assistant and I were at the Adidas store in Oxford Street London photographing adidas customers wearing the new Stella McCartney range of London Olympics sports gear. The tops and sweat pants all show the Olympic logo and are designed for adidas to promote in the run up and during the Olympics in London. The range is high end, stylish and edgy, and looks great.
The Leeds based marketing company Intermarketing Ltd who look after this particular Adidas promotion have hired us for the instore event. We take a photograph of a customer or model in our mobile studio wearing an item from the new range and produce a 12″x8″ print. The print is then posted in the window of the store creating a huge montage of photographs. By Sunday evening the display was looking pretty impressive. We were in the store on Friday evening and Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
The photograph above was taken on Friday evening.

Event and Party Photographer Waldorf Hilton London.
Last Friday night I joined Paul and his family and friends in The Palm Room at The Waldorf Hilton in London. The theme was James Bond and everyone was wearing black tie, it was also clear from the moment I arrived that everyone was going to have a brilliant time.
I set up my pop up studio and the 10 or so children, particularly the girls made good use of it and I managed to get some lovely studio quality photographs of them in their pretty dresses. After the drinks reception Paul and his guests moved up the steps to the Homage Grand Salon Restaurant for a buffet and more drinks.
The DJ was excellent and the dance floor was full for most of the evening. I left the party at 11pm and I have put all of the photographs of the party in their own private gallery with a password, the page had 50 hits within about half an hour of publishing it. Paul will also get all of the high res photographs on a DVD.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Paul and his family and friends on Friday.

Event and Party Photographer Grange Hotel St. Paul’s, London.
On Thursday evening, coincidently Australia day, I photographed the launch of The Australia Unlimited iPad App. A number of prominent Australians and UK ceo’s connected with Australia were there along with 500 other guests who came to enjoy the event.
My job at this event was quite specific. I was to take a portrait shot of as many guests as possible and then produce a branded print for them to take away at the end of the event. Above is an example of one of the 300 6″x4″ prints I produced.
The event was great fun for the guests. The Divas from the west end show Priscilla played a couple of sets along with a few acts from the cast. Staff were mingling with the guests demonstrating the app on iPads and interviews were broadcast on a huge screen above the stage.
Event and Party Photographer Odeon Whiteleys. | The Opening of The Lounge – Fine Food and Film.

Event and Party Photographer The Lounge Odeon Whiteleys, London.
Last night I photographed the opening of The lounge at Odeon Whiteleys. The Lounge offers a fantastic “fine food and film experience” where you can sit in a luxurious first class airline style seat and enjoy food and drinks brought to you by restaurant and bar staff. The screens are small and intimate, the largest has 50 seats and the smallest seats about 30. The experience is great for a party or corporate event.
I took the photographs for Red Consultancy, the PR company managing the event who will use the photographs for promotional purposes.
I’ll be taking photographs again next week at another event at The Odeon cinema where a group of school children will see a movie.
