The Absolut View |
22.07.2011 |
One thing I absolutely love about my work is that it keeps me in the know, of all the happening parties, artsy events and exciting new launches. This time, I had the opportunity to shoot The View, a rooftop bar & lounge located on the top floor of G Tower. The view (hence, the name) is spectacular. From here, you enjoy a 180 degree view which starts from the heart of KLCC, the twin towers, and spans across Ampang. On a good day, the view beyond that, is magnificent as the cityscape ends with a mountainous landscape.
I made several trips to The View to shoot both the landscape and the Absolute Vodka/The View artist collaboration photos. The latter art project was an exciting one as I got to conceptualize photos that embodied our impression of an “Absolute View” with the 3 main elements consisting of Absolute Vodka, the View and the artist’s impression of a painted Absolute. The first photo, to compliment the underwater bottle painted by Cheng Yen Peng, I experimented with a lens filter and water to creat flare. The 2nd and my personal favorite, I light-painted (with the help of Hsien Ming and Nicholas and after many many tries) the “Electrifying” bottle painted by Faizal Suhif.
If you’re in the mood for a chillout night with friends and unique Absolut cocktails in a posh lounge with a fabulous view of the city, do check out The View at G-Tower! See you there!
I’m super stoked that my photos have been appearing on a number of print ads in magazines like Esquire, Timeout, Advertising and Marketing and Men’s UNO
And I’m even more excited about the fact the this ad below will be submitted for an advertising award!
Check out the behind the scenes video on how much fun we had light-painting!
