HSBC Premier Customers who are keen nature enthusiasts gained a rich experience when award winning Hungarian born nature photographer, Bence Mate presented a 90 minute talk show at the Atrium Lobby at Cinnamon Grand, recently. The event was jointly organised by HSBC Premier and Cinnamon Hotels.
Vising Sri Lanka for the very first time, the young photographer shared some of his best moments on camera with Chitral Jayatilake of Cinnamon Nature Trails and his team of photographers, when they travelled around the country capturing great moments of Sri Lanka’s rich wildlife.
Over 300 HSBC Premier Customers who attended the session, were able to discover some unique techniques and learn more about his unconventional ‘hide photography’ illustrated through a collection of nature photographs captured on his many tours around the world.
The event was made even more memorable for customers who got to closely engage with Bence and capture some unforgettable moments on camera.
Seven Premier customers were also invited to participate in an exclusive excursion to Hungary with Bence Mate and his crew where they could photograph birds in his own ‘hides’ and experience unforgettable moments with HSBC Premier and Cinnamon Nature Trails.
Bence Mate is famously known for his ‘hide photography’ technique of photographing birds in their natural habitat and has enjoyed an illustrious career spanning over 15 years during which time he has won over 34 international awards including BBC’s nature photographer of the year, as a young photographer.
