PULSAR 200RS Phnom Penh

The image requirements were to photograph the bike against nighttime Phnom Penh backgrounds, no composites this time. It was a simple set up, I used a off camera Canon Speedlight with a large flash bender attached to light the bike.

There are not many choices for iconic land marks in PP and it was rather tricky with rush hour traffic swerving around us and beeping at us, plus some building's lights didn't switch on until complete darkness. We tried Central Market as well, it would have made a great shot but the building's lights were extremely dim compared to the bike lights. Also the market had half it's lights missing, typical in Cambodia, when something breaks it doesn't get fixed for a long time if at all. Could have done with some ND gels cut to fit the bike lights. Although it looks fine with the blown out headlight effect.

ANZ Royal commercial shoot

Commercial photography works I shot for ANZ this August in Phnom Penh. Again a pleasant experience working with their marketing team and the River Orchid team, professional and easy going photo shoots. Makes my job so much easier.

Phirith Uch was art directing again and did the layout design. Producer Seathan Pom, Srey Toiche did the makeup. As always my photo assistant Miss Tauch Lon doing the mans work, lifting, operating and placing my strobes where I want them. A nice choice of pro talents played by ANZ staff as well.

ANZ Royal 10th Anniversary shoot

An interesting commercial shoot recently in Phnom Penh. We had to draw out a big number 10 in a concrete parking space using a hose pipe, some string, gaffer tape and a stone for chalk. We photographed looking down from the corner edge roof of a 3 story building. Slight vertigo at first until I got used to it.

The talents were staff from ANZ branches, we only had about 30 people, so did several shots to be composited, moving the 30 section by section and shuffling them around for each shot.

Great to work with the River Orchid team again and things went nice and sroool. With producer Vicheth Chea, art director come mathematician Paul Bermingham and post production Pirith Uch.

PULSAR 200ns photography print ad

Latest commercial photography shoot for the new Pulsar 200NS Vipar Auto ad. Photographed in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Bunsak But assisted me on this one as well as managing the final composite and retouch. Nice one mate!
These shiny bikes are tricky to light. We used a makeshift white tent to surround the bike. Unwanted reflections, reflections, and more reflections!!

Amret Calendar 2015
