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 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.

Event and Party Photographer The Brewery, Chiswell St. London.

Last night I set up my pop up studio at The Brewey, Chiswell Street, London to photograph Nelson Bostock’s Christmas Party. The theme of the party was “The Movies” and they managed to combine an oscars style awards ceremony with a party afterwards.

Event Photographer Emirates Stadium. | Bosche’s Alan Carter’s Farewell Dinner 2nd Nov 2011.

Event Photography Emirates Stadium.

Last Wednesday I joined the staff at Bosche for their farewell dinner in honour of Alan Carter. Alan retires after many years at Bosche and has during his time there produced not only spectacular sales figures but also UK brand awareness for the German company. Alan is a lifelong supporter of Arsenal and so the choice of venue for the party was an obvious one.

Guests arrived at 7pm and drinks were served until everyone sat down for dinner at 8pm. There were a number of speeches and presentations made during the dinner and Alan made his speech after desert was served. Three large cakes complete with candles arrived from the kitchen which Alan and his wife blew out, clearly they are a popular couple within the company.

The party continued and the band started up. A good time was had by all and the guests left at midnight.

My brief was to photograph the party and provide Bosch with a set of retouched high res images. Copyright is always handed over to the client when the DVD is delivered, this means that the client can do whatever they like with the photographs without having to contact us continually for permission to use the photographs.

On Wednesday evening I joined the organisers of The Registry Trust to photograph their AGM and reception at The Melia White House Hotel near Great Portland Street in central London.

Once the AGM was completed a question and answer session was taken by one of the directors and a drinks and canapés reception followed. Their new software developed for use by their members was also demonstrated during the reception.

The photographs will be used for various online and print purposes, and I will supply the Registry Trust with the high res retouched images on CD along with copyright.

Event Photographer London.

On Thursday Evening I photographed the annual awards and dinner for The Association of Project Safety.

Awards were given to four young people whose projects and proposals for planning and infrastructure showed particular vision and promise. A number of awards were also given to Design and Engineering firms for outstanding work.

The stand up comedian Tim Clark was the MC for the evening and introduced the various speakers from RIBA and the world of Architecture and Engineering who presented the awards.
It was clear that much effort is being made by the firms at this event to foster young up and coming talent, and their work was displayed for guests to view on the way into the reception. The guests enjoyed a three course dinner followed by Tim Clark’s stand up set.

The finished high res. retouched photographs will be provided to the APS tomorrow and posted on my website for guests to view.

Event and Party Photography | Ogilvie Action, ‘Paris Nightlife Event’ at the Maddox Club London

Event and Party Photography, Maddox Club London.

Last night my assistant, Richard and I joined the Olgivy Action team at the Maddox Club in London. Our brief was to photograph their 300 guests in front of a Paris backdrop and supply all of the guests who took part with instant prints to take home as a momento of the evening.

The purpose of the event was to educate attendees of an upcoming brand launch in an exciting way and get them behind it. Giving a photograph to the guests of themselves during the evening is a great way for the host, particularly if the party is branding exercise, to show that they are valued as a customer.

In order to produce a large volume of high quality of prints at an event we use specialist printers that can print a 6″x4″ print in under 15 seconds, and along with high end digital cameras and computers our workflow can cope with very large volumes of people and subsequent prints.
