I photographed Hugo  ’s Bar Mitzvah at the Cafe Deco at the peak two weeks ago.  What a great party , and It looked like everyone was having a blast. Lots of surprise, performance, and emotion, can’t imagine how much time Hugo ’s mother Belinda has spent preparing the party.

Here are the photos of this awesome party! Congratulations Hugo !!!

the sun in my pocket – part one

I was enjoying the “holiday” in last few weeks and very lazy updating the blog.

with only a few photo sessions in august, I had more free time to clean up the photo editing and album backlogs. Apart from it, really enjoyed the extra time I had with shulin. We went to different playgroups (little gym, ballet junior …. …) or went to swimming everyday – this was such a wonderful time (you can see some photos and video on my facebook fans page) !!!!

Before writing this blog, I was packing my equipments to prepare the photo session tomorrow – the bar mitzvah party of hugo. This is the kick-off of the peak season and my schedule was fully packed before the Chinese new year. Hopefully, I can update the blog more frequently in this season … …

In this and the next few posts, I ‘d like to share some photo techniques that I frequently use

I love shooting in available light, especially on a wedding day. But I also use a lot of off-camera flash, especially during the portrait sessions.

Here is an example – the bar mitzvah portrait session for hugo I did early this month. This is one of my fav image of the day – I love his expression a lot. You may think we had wonderful sunset light in this shot … …but … …

let ’s go to the Hollywood
- bar mitzvah of Leo Saadia

I was asked by a lot of other clients that, other than weddings, what other jobs will I take? I ‘d say over 95% of my job are all weddings related, I seldom do any portrait, company opening, birthday party, commercial, fashion, etc… …  I just found them too boring for me.

So what about the last 5% ?

Bar mitzvah is definitely my favorite photo event, especially the celebration party!!!! These people just know how to party, there is always so much fun taking photo for them. And the party for Leo didn’t disappoint us, I took photo of his brother Enzo last year and felt so happy to see their family again.

theme of the night: Hollywood and Oscar
event management: Berge Studio
venue: JCC HK

Leo – the super STAR of the night !!!!

it ’s bar mitzvah month — james

This month is a month of Bar Mitzvah for me, I have a total of five bar mitzvah ceremonies and parties to shoot. The first one is James ’s on last Sunday. I am so happy to see Fiona ’s family again, I love them so much !!!

The theme of the evening was "Fire and Crystal", the whole ballroom of AMC was partitioned into two areas – "Fire" and "Crystal". When I asked Fiona who is the decoration company, I was so surprised when she told me that she didn’t hire any decoration or event company and she designed all by herself — amazing !!!!!

the celebration — James and Father dancing on the table !!!! So excited !!!!
It was lucky that I could capture this pic — once they started to do that, you ‘d be in the middle of the crowd and you couldn’t move at all. The tricks are "anticipation" and a little bit of "luck".

bar mitzvah of james – part I

Just came back from Shek O. Today I shot the portrait of James,  for his bar mitzvah in March. I shot the bar mitzvah of Robert (James ’s brother) in 2006 and I have been waiting for James ’s turn for a long long time.

As James is a rugby lover, we planned to take photos of him playing it on the beach.

Look forward to the part II (the party) in March !!!!

he looks great, doesn’t he?
looks great !!
