Lyndey Milan ~ Media launch

IMG_7136s1-e1348911820438.jpg

When I was asked a couple of days in advance, if I wanted to capture (the gorgeous) Lyndey Milan's launch for her new series "Lyndey and Herbie's moveable feast"... Well, I guess my answer is pretty self-evident. So on a sunny spring day I went to the Foodstore in the harbor, to capture an hour or so from a fancy lunch with all these media personalities. My job is just too awesome.

Pead PR (who hired me for this event) wanted mostly posed social pictures since they were going to send these to a couple of weekend magazines. But after a while I got to capture some in-action shots as well--just the way I like it!

 

Valerie Adams Gold Medal Ceremony

Just over a week ago, I once again had the privilege to be part of something big in this country. Valerie Adams, an extremely talented shot-putter (the best), was to receive her Olympic gold medal in The Cloud. The reason she didn't get it in London in the first place, was that she was won the silver medal, before it was revealed that the original gold medalist had taken illegal substancesprior to her winning performance at the Olympics. Absolutely outrageous. But even though Valerie was disappointed not be able to celebrate her gold in front of the eighty thousand spectators in London, I think she was pretty thrilled with the celebrations Auckland and New Zealand managed to organize for her.
