Mayfair X Lio Takover
When the renowned European production Lio brought its dazzling spectacle to Las Vegas for New Year’s Eve 2024–2025, it took over the prestigious Mayfair Supper Club at the Bellagio in unforgettable style. Known for its blend of high-energy performance, exquisite choreography, and world-class artistry, Lio transformed the venue into a celebration unlike any other on the Strip. To capture this once-in-a-lifetime event, the producers partnered with In Color Studios, Las Vegas’ leading full-service production company specializing in photography and video for high-end entertainment.
Documenting a show of this caliber requires more than just cameras—it demands a skilled creative team that understands how to preserve the atmosphere, scale, and energy of live performance. In Color Studios brought a team of experienced cinematographers, photographers, and production staff who are well-versed in the challenges of shooting in dynamic environments. From the intimate details of the dinner show experience to the wide, cinematic sweeps of the stage, every angle was carefully considered to create a library of assets that could be used across marketing, press, and social media platforms.
Lighting and sound play a central role in performances like Lio. The ability to capture sharp, beautifully balanced visuals without losing the essence of the live stage design requires a high level of technical expertise. The In Color Studios team deployed high-end cinema cameras, stabilized rigs, and precision lighting control to ensure every frame matched the grandeur of the event. Their approach allowed the final photography and video to feel immersive and true to the live experience, while polished enough to serve as high-value marketing material.
For producers, the decision to work with a professional production company is crucial. Moments like New Year’s Eve cannot be recreated, and the media captured often becomes the defining archive of the event. With years of experience working alongside global entertainment brands, In Color Studios understands how to blend seamlessly into the environment while still delivering world-class creative output.
The result was a collection of breathtaking visuals that not only celebrated Lio’s triumphant Las Vegas takeover but also solidified the Bellagio’s Mayfair Supper Club as a premier destination for live entertainment. For productions looking to maximize impact, partnering with a seasoned creative studio ensures every detail is captured with artistry, precision, and style.
The final campaign was a success, with Cirque du Soleil deploying the images across their marketing platforms to generate excitement around Michael Yo’s debut. The collaboration underscored the importance of working with a highly skilled photographer like Ed Gregory, who can bridge artistry, technical excellence, and brand storytelling for global impact.
