Steele Birthday Gala 2025 – Mobs Productions Event Night – Oscar Lewu

In April 2025, I was brought along to provide event photography for the annual Steele Birthday Gala, a celebration held every year honouring musician Mark Steele Sr. During this night, I was tasked with taking snapshots that showcased the party’s atmosphere. This involved being on-site for grabbing shots, post-production photo-editing, event setup/teardown, and coordinating with the team for a successful night without too much interference.
