Lighting can completely transform the look and feel of an event, and the ILEA STAR Awards proved just that. From bright, colorful glows to full-wall effects that created the look of a massive painting, every space had its own unique vibe. Silhouettes, laser lights, and bold reflections added drama and energy, making for some incredible photos. But lighting doesn’t just change the atmosphere—it can even shift the color of food and skin, making every detail look different depending on the setup.

The ILEA STAR Awards brought an out-of-this-world experience with its Area 21 theme—think aliens, space cowboys, and all things cosmic. ???? The floral arrangements were next-level, blending vibrant blooms with unexpected elements, including taxidermy and dried tumbleweeds. We’ve photographed a lot of unique designs, but a stuffed armadillo as part of the decor? That was a first—and definitely entertaining! Stay tuned for more snapshots from this unforgettable event. ???

?? People create in unique and beautiful ways, and when individual art pieces come together, something truly special happens. ?? We had the opportunity to photograph a team-building art event where each person contributed their own style to create a stunning collective masterpiece. The result? Pure magic! ? What would the final art look like if your team individually created pieces? #CreativeCollaboration #TeamArt #Photography #ArtInAction #UniqueCreations #corporatephotography #teambuilding #photography #lifeasaphotographer
