IOH Chairman’s Ball & Awards 2011 at Four Seasons Park Lane

IOH Chairman’s Ball & Awards at Four Seasons Park Lane

Last Friday evening I headed up to the newly refurbished Four Seasons hotel in London’s Park Lane, to photograph the annual Chairman’s Ball & Aspiring Manager’s Awards for the Institute of Hospitality, London branch, ably assisted by my brother Simon.

Many of London’s top hoteliers were represented at the awards evening, which took the form of a very stylish masked ball!

Posed and candid photos of guests

We started the evening with posed photos in front of a white background as guests arrived. This is always a good option for events if organisers would like guests to be able to have a souvenir of the event afterwards. I can supply the edited images to you afterwards by WeTransfer and/or put the photos in a gallery on my website so that they can be downloaded.

At the organisers’ request we also photographed the guests at each table during dinner. This is an option we offer, although at some events it’s not practical to do.

Of course I also took pictures of the speeches and award-giving ceremonies, and lots of candid photographs throughout the evening.

After the excitement of the awards was over the guests were able to let their hair down dancing to the live band, Versatility.

Here are just a few of my favourite images from the evening.
