Case Studies

Since 2018, Ricky has been privileged to work with Legal 500, capturing their events in Singapore. These events have ranged from networking sessions to seminars and conferences, all hosted for legal counsel. Despite the firm's UK-based operations, seamless communication eliminated the need for face-to-face meetings, ensuring a smooth working relationship.

This ongoing collaboration has been highly successful, thanks to the client’s clarity and detailed event briefs. They provide:

• A comprehensive event breakdown to help me understand the flow.

• Clear guidelines on the minimum and maximum number of photos required.

• Specific do's and don'ts for image requirements.

Such structured briefs not only streamline the process but also challenge me to grow as a photographer. Over the years, this partnership has refined my skills and enhanced my ability to cover other events effectively.

A crucial part of my work has been incorporating the company logo into my shots whenever possible, adding a professional touch and reinforcing the client’s branding.

I am truly grateful for the trust and recognition from a client located 10,100 km away, which has played a significant role in shaping my journey as a photographer.

I was honored to document the visit of His Excellency, Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the Federal President of the Federal Republic of Germany, at the German Centre in Singapore. Although this was a two-hour event shoot, meticulous preparation and briefing were essential to ensure flawless execution.

To capture this high-profile visit, I familiarized myself with the designated tour route to anticipate key moments. Security was understandably tight, adding a layer of complexity, but my previous experience photographing government officials prepared me for this challenge.

I also worked closely with the client to coordinate the group photo setup. By advising on the optimal standing positions for everyone and requesting a rehearsal, I ensured that the group photo with the President would be seamless and organized.

Attention to detail was critical throughout the shoot. Every interaction and expression mattered, so I positioned myself strategically possible to capture authentic moments. To add a personal touch, I even learned how to say “Thank you” in German, which added to the positive atmosphere.

This experience highlights the importance of thorough planning, adaptability, and cultural sensitivity when photographing high-profile events. The result? A collection of images that captured the significance and warmth of the occasion.
