VitaminWater Launch at ION Sky

The past few months had been really hectic for us, as we march into our usual peak period from September – December. This year, once again, we’ve made a record of having 9 shoots in a single day, and the day, as you can guess, is none other than 10 Oct 2010, comprising of 7 weddings, a family day shoot, and a corporate event! Kudos to all staff who worked really hard to make it happen, and to all our clients who rendered us their fullest support!

Albeit the busy period, we all derive joy from our jobs! One of the recent events that we have done is the VitaminWater Launch at ION Sky on 26 Nov 2010.

VitaminWater is a thirst quencher and as the name suggests, the beverage carries unique combinations of nutrients in various flavours and specific benefits. It might not be the first time that you’ve heard of it, since it has been launched in various countries such as Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and the USA.

The event started off with an internal launch party in the afternoon, followed by the VitaminWater Media + BFF Launch Party during the evening.

Internal Launch Party

VitaminWater Media + BFF Launch Party

In case you are wondering, yes, these are the exact 4R printouts that were received by the guests. We did customisation such that when our photographers snap 3 shots of the same group of people, these 3 photos will be reflected on a single print-out. What really worked for VitaminWater was the vibrant colours representing the energy that the beverage brings about. It made the photos look really appealing and eye-catching!

While the BFFs of VitaminWater were enjoying their drinks and having fun taking photos in various poses, the entertainment segment continued.

And if you were around ION Orchard during those few days, you might have also seen this:

Have you tried it yet? VitaminWater is now sold at select supermarkets and 7-Eleven stores!

The DualTow watch was designed by Christophe Claret which was constructed using several new and innovative mechanisms such as a single-pusher planetary gear chronograph.

On their website (http://www.dualtow.ch/) you can interactively customized each component of the watch such as the strap, colour of the tracks, cogs and case. We took this website and intergrated it with our digital guestbook allowing the guests to customize their watch at the event take this, sign it and have a printout of the to go home with.

Did a very challenging shoot for Changi Terminal 3 in Dec 2007 just as it was finishing it’s touch up for the opening. Renovation and works were still on-going all around and we had to selectively shift and clean up areas just for the shoot.

World Gourmet Summit with Leica

Last week, Willy has had the pleasure to conduct a workshop at World Gourmet Summit 2010: An Afternoon of Photography Appreciation with Leica. Together with food stylist, Chef Anderson Ho, they share tips on food photography and styling techniques at Singapore Tourism Board’s Auditorium.

Getting started

A shiny, metallic surface to demonstate reflection. The ‘before’ shot.

And after…

The setup. Using clamps to hold the styrofoam boards to bounce off light in a certain direction and having black cardboards as background to provide an edge for light reflection.

Chef Anderson, on the other hand, is preparing the hero dish. It is interesting to note that food for photography should not be eaten (unless you wish to) as they are specially handled. This means to say that the food are either not fully cooked (as above, Chef is just flaming the squid for its visual appeal)… or you just don’t want to eat them upon seeing how they are being handled during preparation.

A small step ladder comes into handy in this case.

One trick to make your food shine – glycerin. You can opt for egg white as a more readily available option.

Getting the aperture, ISO and white balance right is just the first step. The purpose of food photography is to represent the dish at its best in a single shot. You will have to twig its ingredients around for it to look tastier.

Pulling the clam from behind the pasta and adjusting the position and angle of each clam to reveal the juices they contain.

You may also wish to consider what you would like to highlight in the dish, and ensuring that other ingredients do not steal its limelight. Therefore, it usually takes quite some time to manually adjust not only the settings of the camera, but also the presentation of dishes.

Due to a shortage of time, we didn’t manage to demonstrate capisicums being dunked into water as we had originally intended to. Click here to view the shots that we have done in our studio.
