Had shot a few events for Dr & Mrs Tan before and this time was his birthday cum 'retirement' celebration at Ristorante Da Valentino. Mrs Tan had to go thru millions of lies and deception to organised a surprise party for him which involved nearly a hundred of his family, close friends, relatives and staff. It was a special occasion filled with stories, jokes, happiness and also sadness as the Tan(s) will be departing from the company they set up. For the record, Valentino is one of the most challenging place to shoot. With sloping ceiling, obstructing beams and criss-crossed light-sucking false 'honey comb' ceiling boards at different part of the restaurant, you really need to have kinda a 'different' camera settings for different segments of the area... Nonetheless, all turned out well. I love the pictures. Hope you do too. :)
