Clifton Li Photography

I was invited by Fairchild Radio to photograph the performers of the upcoming Chinese New Year Event, 《四海同聲》春節聯歡晚會 (click to see a Chinese description). The event will be held on Feb 14, 2010 at Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto.

The photographs are to be used by Wilson Chiu for the event poster, and to be published in the Feb. 2010 issue of PLEM magazine.

The performers were asked to do a promotional video at Fairchild TV studio. Unfortunately, I need to do my photoshoot during the video recording. Therefore, continuous lighting (tungsten colour) was my only option. The main disadvantage of this is the low light output. So I used a fairly high iso, moderate shutter speed with a relatively wide aperture.

Here is a quick behind the scene with some preview of the pictures:

Performers are listed but not limited to:
王越 – Sophia Wong, 陳玲俐 – Lily Chang, 姜曉 – Jiang Xiao, 陳琳, 許哲筠 – Claudia Hui, 趙苑晨, 馬艶冰 – Lena Ma, 張輝萍, 鈔藝萍, 楊琳

Personal Assistant:
Helen Wong

Lastly, I would like to thank George, Wilson, and Lisa from Fairchild Radio for giving me this wonderful opportunity!

Happy New Year!!! Wish you all have a wonderful year ahead!!! I was very lucky to be invited by Fairchild Radio to photograph their New Year Countdown at Market Village. It was packed with people and surprisingly, I was the only official photographer invited to the event.

The lighting was gorgeous, special thanks to Ben, and Shakedown Production. I have created a short slideshow of the images.

There was another surprise as people were all rushing to pickup the gift from Fairchild Radio. It was a 2010 calender poster. The poster (attached below) was designed by my art teacher, Wilson Chui. He spent more than 3 weeks researching and drawing the illustration! BRAVO!

Lastly, special thanks to George, Lisa and of course, Fairchild Radio for giving me this opportunity.
