THE MAGIC OF GEORGE CLOONEY + MARTHA STEWART | Zahrina Photography.com
14.12.11 - CORPORATE / ENTREPRENEURS
This was the week to end all in 2011! I had the best time shooting the Global Leadership Forum in Sydney on Monday. The people who attended were intelligent and professional entrepreneurs and most of these people I knew which made my job even easier! This was important event on the Sydney Entrepreneurial calendar featured George Clooney and Martha Stewart with Jeff Taylor, Michael Fertik, Russell Simmons and Muhammad Yunus. The media were buzzing around left, right and centre to grab a glimpse of George Clooney. To hear all these speakers present to the audience and put forward their individual messages was simply awe inspiring, particularly, George Clooney as he really does use his Star status to credible use on Not On Our Watch and his Satellite Sentinel Project. Muhammad Yunus was also a stand out for me, he was thought provoking in the way he approached problems and simply solved them with opening up businesses, I really love this! His actions have brought about some of the most changes to the poorest and disadvantaged people by opening up Grameen Bank. Martha Stewart blew me away with her fashion sense, in her 70′s she walked on stage with tight black leggings and heels to die for! Here are some shots from the day including shots of the famous Kamahl, Kevin Jacobsen, Business Chicks team, some “die-hard fans of George!” and many more to enjoy. Other images I’ve taken will be released by the organisers. I must say, I am really looking forward to some Christmas rest + recreation!:)

Catherine: Highlight of my business year - meeting Mr George Clooney and having a chat, hearing his presentation on using your profile to make a difference PLUS being in the audience for Martha Stewart's presentation on branding - what an inspiration! (12/16/11, 8:28 pm)
