Orbis Gala 2025 at the Rainbow Room

The 2025 Orbis Gala took place at the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center, raising funds for Orbis’s mission to deliver eye care and training around the world through its Flying Eye Hospital program. The evening combined purpose and elegance, with guests gathering high above the city for a night dedicated to global impact.

We began the evening photographing the step and repeat as guests arrived, followed by coverage of the cocktail hour, honoree presentations, and speeches throughout the night. As the sun set over Manhattan, the atmosphere of the Rainbow Room transformed — soft daylight gave way to the venue’s signature purple uplighting, creating a dramatic contrast against the 360° skyline view.

In addition to documenting key moments, we focused on candid interactions and small group portraits throughout the evening. From guests connecting during cocktails to the emotional moments on stage, our goal was to capture both the spirit and story of the night.

For every event — whether it’s a gala like this or a smaller corporate celebration — we work closely with clients to identify key people and moments in advance. That preparation ensures each gallery reflects both the energy of the evening and the people behind it.

Annual events like the Upwardly Global “Brighter Futures Together” Gala 2025, held at Tribeca 360° in New York City is an event I photograph every year. Seeing familiar faces is a warm feeling, but hearing the different stories of the night and experiencing each years’ different format is the real creative challenge, which I love. The day spanned from early gatherings through evening festivities, offering a a spectrum of light, emotion, and narrative to document.

Throughout the event, my team and I (2 photographers + myself) tracked every moment—from arrival with registration, the step and repeat, cocktail hour, and a mini- networking session to the elegant gala program full of awards, performances, and an a auction. Together, we worked to capture it all. The oscillation between spontaneous interactions and staged moments created a dynamic visual story—guests in conversation, laughter between speakers, as well as the energy of the room shifting as day became night.

Corporate Networking Dinner at Locanda Verde Tribeca

As a Manhattan Corporate Event Photographer, I capture a wide variety of event; galas, fundraisers, networking events, and small dinners. Tonight’s event held at the atmospheric Locanda Verde was small, intimate, and quite short from my perspective. I was only able to photographer 30minutes of drinks and the first 15minutes of dinner. I focused on capturing spontaneous moments of conversation and excitement that defined the night, and two short speeches.

From close-ups of plated courses to wide shots of the venue’s distinctive architecture, my goal was to tell the full story of the dinner. I framed guests in engaging candid interactions — laughter over toast, handshake connections, side conversations in soft lighting — while also dedicating time to formal group portraits on the terrace and in the dining room. These images offer a nuanced narrative: polished professionalism with a personal touch.

As an NYC Event Photographer working with corporate clients, I understand documenting the Chanel Factory New York Summer Party hosted at the vibrant City Winery. This evening event took place in the afternoon and went until after sunset, allowing me to capture the changing light.

As the event evolved into the evening, the mood shifted: the skyline lit up, and guests gathered for group portraits at sunset. I moved between staged group shots and natural, in-the-moment coverage to preserve both the formal and relaxed energy of the night.

One highlight was capturing the sunset group portraits. The mix of architecture, natural light, and guest energy allowed me to create images that feel both polished and evocative.

Sati Uniti Tribeca Showroom Event with Eleonora Srugo

,

The Sati Uniti team hosted a special evening in their new Tribeca showroom, celebrating Italian craftsmanship and modern kitchen design. The event featured guest speaker Eleonora Srugo, known from Netflix’s Selling New York, who joined the President of Sati Uniti for a conversation on design, trends versus timeless luxury, and what continues to make New York such an iconic city.

While photographing the event, my focus was on capturing guests as they moved through the space — exploring the kitchen displays, talking design, and interacting with the fixtures themselves. The atmosphere felt relaxed and genuine, with conversations happening naturally among beautifully designed interiors. I photographed candid moments, coordinated group portraits, and posed shots with Eleonora and the Sati Uniti team.

Events like this, whether a small speaker session or a large-scale gala, share the same goal: documenting people having a good time. My approach stays consistent — capture the energy, the faces, and the moments that tell the story of the evening.

If you’re hosting a corporate event, showroom launch, or panel discussion in New York City, I provide professional coverage that blends candid storytelling with polished composition.

The Art of Sushi Book Launch

When photographing the Art of Sushi book launch in New York City I wanted to captured the celebration of the craft, its tradition, and connection throughout the sushi community. The event brought together chefs, food enthusiasts, and friends of the author for an intimate night that combined the elegance of Japanese cuisine with the excitement of the author’s first book.

Guests ate sushi, watched as chefs demonstrated their mastery, rolling and plating pieces with precision. I focused on capturing the small but meaningful details — the textures of fresh ingredients, and the guests’ expressions as they interacted with the book, the vendors, and one another . Between the close-up shots of the food and the candid reactions in the crowd, the event offered a perfect big moments and small ones alike.

As the evening went on, guests enjoyed tasting the sushi, sharing conversations, and flipping through their copies of The Art of Sushi. I took a mix of candid and posed photos, including small group portraits with the author and chefs. The low evening light and minimalist setup made the images feel warm, authentic, and refined — the kind of timeless look I aim for in every event gallery.
