Invest Hong Kong have purchased one of our stock shots for a standing banner that will be used at various functions and events around the world. I shot this years ago from the roof of IFC2 while doing a job for the OTIS elevator company.
Thanks to Kal for the handing retouching to get rid of the clouds and turn the sky blue.
InvestHK are the government agency responsible for selling this lovely city of our to international businesses as a good place to set up and do business. They must have a pretty easy job, the way I figure it, Hong Kong is a great place to do business, its just too bad we have to breath to do so…
After spending some time retouching the first selection last night, when I woke up in the morning the client had chosen a new pic which we then retouched, luckily this one didn’t need as much, no railing along the highway to remove, just a small chain in front of the grass… so do you like?
We shot this yesterday afternoon about 5pm in front of the HK Club bldg, I was using my trusty Canon 5D with the 24-105 at f5.6 / 160th
the vivid foreground lighting on the talent was courtesy Profoto 6B battery powered strobe… the secret is what did i have attached to the strobe?
We did a make up test a few months back with Dada, a freelance model from HK.
Michelle Lau did the makeup and I did the photos and retouching… If your looking for a decent makeup artist and want to contact Michelle, please contact me
On Saturday I shot a friends wedding, Toby and Ursala. The nice policeman were kind enough to pose for a photo with them. Thanks to the kind officiers.
Today we had a partial eclipse over Hong Kong, luckily it was a clear sunny morning with just a few clouds drifting over. I shot these from the roof of the studio with the 350mm lens mounted on a tripod. I was able to stop down the aperture with the DOF preview button so I could watch the whole thing. It was pretty cool, the ambient light was about 1 stop less than normal, very cool… The next eclipse of this magnitude to hit HK will be sometime next century, so glad I caught this one…
