Historic Luxury In The Heart Of Saigon
Client: Caravelle Saigon
Date: May 2019
Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Project Goal: To capture the newly renovated interiors and lifestyle images
The Property: The one and only Caravelle Saigon Hotel. Celebrating its 60th year this year, the Caravelle has a storied past. From being the first hotel in Vietnam with air-conditioning,
to journalists calling it home during the war, the hotel has represented luxury and five star service everyday in between and holds a special place in Saigon.
I was excited to be approached by the hotel earlier this year to capture the renovations and upgrade they were unveiling over the course of the year.
It’s been an ongoing project since the spring, and we still have more to shoot in the next few months as other suites and facilities are finalized.
We’re doing the new interiors and details of course, but also some lifestyle images as well.
It’s always great fun to work with the teams there, and just as good to enjoy a sunset beer on the rooftop when I’m not shooting
Equipment: Sony A7RIII with Profoto lighting
Shooting Time: 7 days
Image Usage: Official website marketing materials
