By far the hardest event I have ever shot, but managed to get a few that qualify as photos.
First, this event was held in a large (40,000 square foot) building that was lit by chandeliers. Think, Fun, Fun, Joy, Joy here.
On the dinner side, they thought that table lamps covered with red shades would be better. Think, My God what did I get myself into.
Now for the best part. They bring in the $180,000 Aston Martin DB9 for a back drop. (Schweet). Oh yeah, portraits are going to be printed on site. No chandelier lighting within 40 feet, but I do get to use a flash.
Insert, Now you know why pros charge so much.
Now for the results:
The car: (oh yeah, how do you ruin the shot of a $180,000 car, Put a darn bow on it)
