NYC Conference Photography is about the BIG moments and the details.

As professional NYC Conference and Event Photographers we are always searching for big moments, the little moments, and everything in between. The sum of it all tells the story of an event, and we often hear the detail photos we capture are crucial in planning future events, whether for an annual event or new event; empty rooms, setup photos, branding, chair and table placements.

“PLEASE DON’T take photos of PEOPLE LOOKING BORED… WE DON’T NEED PHOTOS OF PEOPLE LOOKING BORED AT OUR EVENT.”

No matter how serious the event is, there are always a few light moments where someone cracks a joke or gets the crowd excited. No matter how “instant” these moments are I am ready. As a corporate event and conference photographer, I am always searching for those split second events of laughter, joy, and excitement. I am always ready to photograph smiles and laughs.

Shalom Hartman Institute | Full Day Conference - January 27, 2020

On Monday, I photographed another full day conference for Shalom Hartman Institute at their Morningside Heights Manhattan, NY office. Most of the photos were candids and some were a bit more staged. The staged photos aimed to show “engagement” and a “shared learning experience”, all of the keywords I often hear in Higher Education Photography. During this conference, I had more time and flexibility to photograph the conference participants in posed groups.

Event Photographers play a large part in helping an organizations marketing/advertising messaging hit home.

As a NYC event photographer, I always strive to photograph the “5 Ws”; Who, What, Where, When, and Why. I want to photograph who attended the event, where was the event, what was the event’s purpose, when was the event, and why was there an event and not a zoom meeting. For an event photographer, their schedule can be jammed packed with assignments, especially at full day conferences. Other times, the event he/she is photographing can be slow. None the less, it is my job to tell the story of the event and show the event in its best light.
