Dubai Fire work photography chance

Happy New Year everyone!
I hope you all have had a wonderful 2013. I know I have and I am really looking forward to 2014. I have so many new things work wise planed in so I am super excited to get started with it all. I just need some more hours in the day to get it all done (is that even possible to get more hours in a day than the 24h there is??) Maybe I should have asked Santa for that? If anyone can make it possible it must me Santa. right!
Well for all of you that are in Dubai at the moment you must be aware that tonight is the nigh you have the chance to photograph the most spectacular fireworks display in the world. Dubai are tonight going for a world record fire work display you see so ours will be so much cooler and bigger and better than any other in the world at least for tonight.
For those of you that are a bit photography interested I am sure that you have already planned out a head of time where you will be standing with your tripod at the strike of 12 tonight.
If you need pointers on how to photograph firework displays take a look at my blog post from last year.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy New Year and all the best for 2014!
I hope to see you all in the New Year!!

ps. Do any of you have any new years resolutions?
I have two.
1. is to take more time to play golf (I only managed 2 times in 2013)
2. Keep my office tidier and organised so I easily find stuff. I find stuff now but it is a right mess most of the time. Just take a look at my desk top.

I even have my passport just laying about not good at all. But there is a reason for that which i have a reason for all the stuff to be where they are... I am endless of excuses and might be hard for an outsider to understand but there is an order to all this madness. All the memory cards that are laying about have an order to them. :) Not saying it is a fail proof system could for sure get better! But there is some king of system :)

Over and out for 2013.

Dubai Teenage Photography Shoot

I had the pleasure to meet 8 young girls for a fun filled photography shoot. The birthday girl had gotten a photography shoot with her friends as a present from her parents. What better present is there??? Of course I am biased since I am the photographer LOL.
The girls had really planned the shoot nicely with coordinated clothes and everything: At that age (13) they are up to almost any suggestions you have which I thought was great fun as well as they were bubbling with ideas themselves of what we should do. It was hot but the girls were great I was sweating a lot but they hardly broke a sweat they are definitively used to cope with the heat better than I was. The mum was saying that they have PE outdoors at school so I guess they have to get used to the heat in order to cope with that.

Groupon sale out. We will together have a Fun filled Photoshoot!

Hi,
My Groupon Portrait photography shoot was a success it was sold out before 10am this morning. I had limit the number of groupons to 25 so that it would be a manageable number for me as well as to allow me to offer such a great discount.
https://www.groupon.ae/deals/dubai/shippeyphotography-sidedeal/356489

I have received a few phone calls and emails during the day from clients about the groupon deal so I would like to clarify a few things.

• The groupon voucher is valid for 6 months from the purchase date
• It is for a 1 hour portrait photography shoot outdoors in Dubai
• You will receive 30-40 edited images on a CD,  you can then yourself print the images anywhere you like

• Voucher is valid on Mon- Fri, from 9am-6pm 
• Not valid with other offers
• Advance booking required, please call between Monday – Friday, 10am -5pm on 055-1078988 

When you call to book your appointment I will talk you through what you need to bring in terms of toys for kids and what you all should be wearing for the shoot and other fun props that will be good if you bring that will enhance the photography shoot.
I will assist you all the way through the photo shoot regarding posing so don't worry about that.

I am looking forward to meet you all for a fun filled photography shoot.

Best regardrs,
