'Modern Florals Photo Set” to be Showcased at the 2013 Oscars GBK Luxury Gift Lounge this Weekend

Maleah Torney Photography (http://www.maleahtorney.com), in association with The Artisan Group, will showcase its “Modern Florals Photo Set” at GBK’s Luxury Gift Lounge in Honor of the 2013 Academy Award Nominees & Presenters. A version of the set printed on metallic paper will also be included in celebrity swag bags. The GBK Gift Lounge takes place February 22-23, 2013 in Beverly Hills, California.

The Modern Florals Photo Set is part of Maleah Torney Photography's “Urban Collection.” Images in the set include “Hello Sunshine,” “Vision in White,” “Three’s Company Squared” and “Daisy Day Dreams.” All images are ready for framing and are beautifully packaged in natural colored, recycled, handmade paper folders tied with orange and green ribbons.

While preparing so many photo sets for the Oscars event was hard work, the project went smoothly. When it came time to package the 100 gifts, Torney was assisted by her eleven year old daughter. “It was a very special time with her," smiled Torney. "She loves to help with my photography business when she can and I enjoy showing her the ropes.”

Maleah Torney Photography's photographs and photo notecards are a popular choice for celebrity gift bags. Most recently she participated in the Official Gift Lounge for the 46th Annual CMA Awards, where her photograph “The Barn” was included in Press Bags. Prior to that, matted prints of the photograph “Ocean Dreams” were included in celebrity swag bags at GBK’s Luxury Gift Lounge for the 2012 Primetime Emmys.

Hugh Bonneville, Stephanie Drapeau, Nia Peeples, Kaley Couco, Jenny McCarthy and Paula Abdul are among the celebrities who have received Torney’s photography. Her imagery can also be seen in the 2011 thriller, “The Roommate" and it is the focus of a new, nationally distributed 2013 calendar.
