Nashville, Tennessee, is not only renowned for its vibrant music scene but also for hosting some of the most glamorous events in support of some amazing causes and organizations in the country. One such prestigious affair is the Ruby Gala, where sophistication meets raising funds and awareness for those needing treatment for HIV and AIDS within the Nashville community. Amidst the glitz and glamour, I provided a luxury event portrait experience that left guests feeling like they stepped into the pages of Vanity Fair.
What is the Ruby Gala:
The Ruby Gala is an annual event, that supports the Vanderbilt Comprehensive Care Clinic, and is geared towards raising funds and awareness needed to support people with HIV. The Vanderbilt Comprehensive Care Clinic provides individuals with assistance in overcoming barriers they may face when actively receiving treatment, and to imprint sustainable HIV care onto our future through the recruitment and training of HIV practitioners.
The Art of Luxury Event Portraits:
I wanted those attending the event to experience a luxury portrait session at a high-end event. The set was dressed with red velvet curtains, gold dividers, and a cream fainting couch. The portraits were open exclusively to the VIP attendees during the first hour of the gala. Capturing the beauty of the guests and the reason spirit of the evening, portraits were available to all attendees throughout the duration of the gala.
What sets my work apart is my ability to go beyond conventional event photography. Instead, I focused on creating luxury event portraits that reflect the personality and style of each attendee. The Ruby Gala, with its glamorous setting, provided the perfect canvas for my artistic vision. From candid shots to meticulously composed portraits, every image encapsulates the essence of the event and the attendees.
The Technical Brilliance:
I employed innovative techniques to ensure the highest quality images were being provided to the participants almost immediately. My mastery of lighting, composition, and post-processing transformed each photograph into a work of art! The rich color palettes and dramatic contrasts in the images elevated the visual appeal. To make things extra special, the images were provided moments after the participants were photographed. This added a great topic of discussion during dinner as guests shared there images at their respective tables and across social media.
In the realm of luxury event photography, I want everyone to feel like a celebrity in their own skin. I enjoy turning moments into memories and events into visual masterpieces. The Ruby Gala in Nashville, Tennessee, served as a captivating backdrop for the amazing individuals in the room and their mission of raising funds and awareness for those needing treatment for HIV and AIDS within the Nashville community.
