convention photographer 2013

What a remarkable evening in Vegas, warm and not too breezy , hell it's December already, by now it's usually cold ,blowing and even snow is not to unusual, after navigating Caesars Palace's parking and walking almost a 1/4 mile or most my assistant ,Katie and I arrive to a small room decorated with Superman, Wonder Woman , and various other super heroes stuck on the walls, I am told this is decoration from our clients office, my assistant Katie immediately likes this crowd ! So even though the location is a little small we get to work and have our Green Screen set up, and soon enough our Talent show up, and I must say they looked the part and acted accordingly.

Add the Alcohol to the mix and a great time was had by all even rowdy elements as shown here were taken cared of ! This is a great example of just how popular Green Screen photography by Las Vegas Photographer Costellophoto can be . We're looking forward to more Corporate parties this holiday season and beyond !

Lets see who would you invite to your office / Corporate Christmas / Holiday function ? Imagine if you could have any one, I think I'd pick Ozzy Osborne, now sober I have to say his reminiscence would be priceless, and the fact that he now resides ,when back home in England in a lovely little town I grew up in so I could pester him for all the local gossip, like is the chippy  (Fish and chip Shop) still there up by the common ? Do you have any pictures of the old place.

Needless to say every one would want their picture taken with Ozzy so conversation would  be short, but between picture I'm sure I could get some pertinent information from him during our photographic engagement.

You might be wondering about this picture, well it was taken on Fremont St in Las Vegas a few months ago, think it's Ozzy? Well I'm not telling ! Fremont Street is a fabulous place to take people pictures, and boy what a collection you get there on any given night, great photo ops , but you do need a long lens and a can of mace. We at Costellophoto were offered the opportunity to shoot on Fremont on New Years Eve...no thanks , I can only imagine the mayhem and I'm sure there's money there but drunk revelers and camera lights, one fizzle and it's over.

Other possibilities how about a photo op with Princess Kate before her bump gets bigger , next Christmas it'll be to late, now thinking about it with our Green Screen service we could do that , might end up in the Tower of London but hey.

So it only leaves me to plug Costellophoto for all your Holiday events, call for rates , we'll work with your budget and give you fabulous memories and your moneys worth. 

2012 Holiday season is upon us, parties and and office gatherings  the inevitable photos will be trotted out  for embarrassing moments of indiscretion and awards given for best dressed , most valuable, and out standing in their field (someone let them back in it's cold out there ! ). 

So it's ok to take your own photographs at the office party, but how about we put together a really special  green screen  photo event that every one will love , go home and show every one how cool their company is ,and instead of giving out lame unwanted gifts , here;'s some thing that will get valued and treasured for years to come, not only that but with the advent of social media we can now post their photographic  images at your office party in Las Vegas on Face book or other pages instantly. Now here's an Idea that really works, we make an 'overlay' that looks just like a popular magazine  and feature your company or office , with a unique back ground ! Think of this a the gift that keeps giving, as these images are passed around your company is giving a photographic impression , bringing your valued staff and products in to the consciousness of perhaps millions, either way holiday snaps can be used as promotional items and as gifts that are enjoyed and valued .

We can also take this to another photographic level, lets say Costellophoto books an event with Zappos for their party , we offer you access to all their employees by placing your logo on their photograph, and by sponsoring the photographic green screen image your party planner have one less cost but still getting a valued product. 

Phew ! I hope all that makes some sense, there are so many Photographers in Las Vegas so incase you've not  found us before, let me give you a little history on Las Vegas's favorite photographer Costellophoto. 

Owned and run by award winning photographer Don Parnall , a British lad who's been in business of Photography for over 30 years, spent some time working on Hollywood blockbusters  and national Television companies like HBO and BBC , a little radio broadcasting and now a citizen of Las Vegas for over 25 years, being a local resident with international clients , it's easy to be over looked as a Las Vegas Photographer, but as the financial climate changes Costellophoto is looking more to the local market to offer quality service with international award winning photographers with professional equipment ( and that last bit is so important) and experience not many can compete with .

Interesting things happen around this time of year, recently I was invited to be a judge at ESPN's bikini competition, now if you're thinking what a lucky guy, let me tell you how difficult it is to sit still and look at 150 women body builders and judge them fairly when you really don't understand female body building. For the most part these woman are way more in to chiseled  muscular looks than you fashion model would ever be, attraction for these women is I would say rather angular than the comfortable rounded form of a 'normal' woman's body. So by the time I and my fellow judges , two other photographers and a bunch of journalists had seen these women over two days I think we got it right and learnt how to score with out malice. This I will say  feathered wings are cool on Victoria Secret models , but more than one body builder it gets a little ridiculous, the other gripe I had was the camo bikini , just doesn't work gals,really. 

 Above out new logo for our new web page, Las Vegas photographer , we've redesigned the page so you only really need one page to tell the Costellophoto story as a Las Vegas Photographer and hopefully millions will see and enjoy our style of photography. to view this fabulous piece of HTML  you can click here  www.costellophoto.com or www.lasvegasphotographers.co. and you may call us at 702 459 3121 to talk about your upcoming photographic needs or green screen ideas even photographic advice, we have no secrets here , just here to help. 

Green Screen ,Convention Photographer Las vegas

So you've been thinking  'What can I do to get some excitement at my booth, or Corporate Party?' 

Well you'll have thousands of interesting suggestions some great but really expensive,others too odd to even consider and again expensive others just too lame and embarrassing.

Costellophoto of Las Vegas has recognized a great and valuable system that if fun and affordable, Green screen photography, you are probably aware of 'Chroma Key' or 'Keying' as it is called in the television industry, some times referred to as Blue Screen , well we can bring all this to your event or booth during your Convention and now we have technology to even make it look 3d !

We erect a green Screen ,usually 10 feet wide , lights, camera and computers  along with fast professional printers and dedicated professional photographers , who take the images of your guests, these pictures are now place in the green screen programme and we can add any back ground you like, , the image of your guest, and a fore ground , can be a logo, race car, anything you can imagine , then in less than 9 seconds we print a 4x6 image of your guest complete with Green screen imagery , a souvenir that will last for years and will be displayed rather than hidden away in a desk draw.

Costellophoto recently invested in new technology that not only prints , but with an internet connection can at the same time post to Face book ,or any other social media giving you and your clients multiple exposures and bragging rights about their trip to Las Vegas and the products they saw there.

One of our recent clients booked Costellophoto Green Screen Service, their plan was to shoot and estimated 400 images in three days, well that was accomplished in 1 and a half ! So although the budget had to be re -figured   we ended up with over 700 images being generated and our client winning 'Most popular ' Booth of the convention, no easy feat as there were over 1,000 booths at this one convention at Mandalay Bay Casino Las Vegas Strip and is still being talked about six months later.

Often times our clients will require the presents of celebrity lookalikes, Marilyn Monroe  or Elvis Presley are very popular and we at Costellophoto can help you get in touch with credible lookalikes , this is very important, as a bad look alike can ruin your whole promotion, it does take skill and professionalism to not only look like your artist, but also to have the knowledge of the artist you're representing to keep the illusion alive, so adding live personalities to Green Screen you have a hit on your hands , and lets face it that's all that counts, the rest will follow.

So to find out more about Costellophoto's Green Screen Service or to book our ever popular Green Screen technology visit out web site dedicated to Green Screen at  www.Costellophoto.com/Green Screen.html 
or call us at 702 459 3121 and we'll be happy to get the Green Screen Ball rolling for you future Corporate Event , or party, Booth at your next Convention or Trade Show, 

 

2008 to 2012 not much changed ....las vegas photographers containue to survive

If you're like me, wondering what the hell is going to happen next in relation to the way we all make a living, I have and have various theories but I shall not bore you with them here...
I do think that it is imperative that we continue doing business and advertising, here are my reason why:
1. How is any one going to know you're still around.
2. Consider this a battle ground and you're the last one standing, who are they (your customers) going to buy from?
3.When the dust settles you need to show off your new line, thus commercial photography is needed.
4.Survival of the fittest, your competition may have disappeared off the face of the earth so now is the time to show your strength and resilience with a new add campaign.
5. Go to that Expo/ convention in Las Vegas have your Pictures taken by a professional photographer again to show the world you survived!
6.Public Relations is one of the best ways to get the word out that your company or association is reliable and alive, a new brochure with complimentary images showing confidence will increase sales and loyalty.

and I'd love nothing better than giving them a piece of my mind, perhaps with the business end of my heaviest tripod,

My company Costellophoto has like many taken some pretty hard knocks recently,we could have folded , I don't know what else I would do but fight and even turn this man made disaster in to a positive.
What we at Costellophoto have done is widen our scope, revamped our image, reinvested at a time when every one else is tightening up, I think that a positive attitude is every thing, I might add that last Monday 6th Oct 08 was probably one of the most desperate days I have ever witnessed, other than feeling hopeless and angry at the bankers and other financial institutions (Some of which were our clients) and I'd love nothing better than giving them a piece of my mind, perhaps with the business end of my heaviest tripod, I just had a vision of my company being the only one left in Las Vegas because we have the determination and imagination to find other avenues in photography.
Now this of course won't happen but do have the feeling that the market place is going to shrink rapidly, and as in banking that's not a bad thing.

"free your spirit of all material things" might be the way to go reluctantly but positively"

Also think about donating some time or services, we just spent and evening with a local Cancer charity http://www.fromtheheartcharity.org here in Las Vegas, other than making you realize that there are others who really need help way more than those being "Bailed out" it also gives your company exposure at the local level and make you feel just a little bit better.
We hope all of you reading this get energized and maybe not as drastic as on Monday and as the Buddha wrote "free your spirit of all material things" might be the way to go reluctantly but positively.
