Waldorf Dressing

We were recently commissioned to Art Direct / Style and Produce a 6 day photoshoot at the new Waldorf Astoria on the Bund, Shanghai. The Waldorf is probably most famous for its  salad which was first created at the New York Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in 1896 not by a chef but by the maître d'hôtel, (dining room manager).

The hotel had only just opened, which can sometimes be a challenge for shoots based on past experiences, it can be compared to having 1,000 people who have just moved into a new home and you ask one of them where do you keep the teaspoons... thankfully this wasn't the case. The shoot went like clockwork!

Room with a view... sometimes

Behind the scenes is never glamorous

 Great place to play with Instagram.

 Quentin also had the opportunity to shoot some images, here's a selection below.
