Seattle Event Photographer: SAM event!

Last night I enjoyed photographing the event celebrating Seattle Art Museums latest acquisitions (for Team Photogenic)!

Seattle Event Photographer: Opening reception for SAM show

Last night I photographed the opening reception for the new exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum for Team Photogenic.  Entitled "MODERNISM IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST: THE MYTHIC AND THE MYSTICAL", the show was amazing, and I need to go back to look at it again!  

Seattle Event Photos: Opening Night of "Miro" at Seattle Art Museum

Seattle Art Museum held a V.I.P. opening for it's "Miro" exhibition the other night.   Guests were able to view the wonderful show, hear an interesting lecture about Miro, sample delicious Spanish cuisine, and watch a fun Flamenco show.  I really enjoyed photographing it for Team Photogenic!  

Chanel CEO!

I recently photographed a really interesting event at the Seattle Art Museum for Team Photogenic.  It was a beautiful reception and then conversation with Maureen Chiquet, Global CEO of Chanel.  Mimi Gates, the former director of the Seattle Art Museum,  invited her to come in honor of the SAM exhibit on Japanese fashion currently showing (and because they are friends!) Maureen talked about leading a global high fashion brand, and also showed some new short films Chanel has just created to celebrate their upcoming anniversary.  She is an amazingly accomplished woman, here is some more info. on her:  http://www.vivendi.com/vivendi-en/governance/supervisory-board/maureen-chiquet-2/.  She spoke with Chiyo Ishikawa, the SAM curator - more on her - (also very accomplished!): http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/pressRoom/prRelease.asp?prID=114  

An interesting crowd, and fun evening!  Here are some images:
