International University of Monaco – Christmas Ball reportage

Just before my departure to Poland I have photographed a Christmas Ball for the International University of Monaco. The ball was being held at the four-star luxury convention resort – Fairmont Hotel in Monte Carlo. It was a very pleasant and highly glamorous evening, beginning with a pre-dinner cocktail (preceded by a photo shoot of the arriving guests at the entrance), diner – including a splendid Christmas themed meal and some entertainment such as singing & piano concert. The students were relaxed and eager to pose which made my job easy and fun. You can read some more about the event at the University’s official blog page.

International Schools Speech Contest

Here’s a photo from an International Schools Speech Contest that is organized each year by the International Club of the Riviera.

The International Club of the Riviera – Show Time! A Taste of Broadway!

Being “the official” photographer of The International Club of the Riviera, I had a pleasure to photograph a recent event organized by George Kasiliyake, the club’s founder. The event took place in the Scandinavian Terrrace in Cannes, a great place to rent during various festivals! It was a wonderful Gastro-Musical afternoon, combining great food & wine with a fabulous toe tapping tour of the great Broadway Musicals of all time! The club presented a show of one the best known international musical stars on the Riviera – Colette Marx-Nielsen (see the video below). We could also listen to some Jazz & Show Tunes performed by Cisco.

The evening ended with a Charity Raffle Draw – the entire proceeds from this event went to the Theme Charity of the Club for children infected with HIV/AIDS.

I had a chance to talk a bit with John Dalton a founder of Arogya Agam – an organization based at Aundipatty. It’s mission is “To assist the community in the prevention and control of spread diseases. To empower those affected by poverty, oppression or gender to help them develop self-sustainability: socially, economically, politically, environmentally and in health”.

One Euro a day is enough to support one child at school providing everything that’s needed for a good education. To check the previous events organized by George and his club type “club” in the search bar on the main page and hit enter. If you wish to join the club click here.

The International Club of the Riviera

I’ve met George Kasiliyake, the founder of The International Club of the Riviera at one of BCC Riviera meetings.
He has proposed me to shoot at one of the club’s charity event taking place in a private villa.
We had a pleasure to taste delicious food from Curry and Spice catering.

European Professional Women’s Network

To change the subject, here are some photos from my recent corporate photoshoot. EPWN – European Professional Women’s Network in Nice has asked me to photograph each of the members during their meeting. The goal was to obtain a professional photo that could be used on LinkedIn or any kind of social networking website. click here
