Celebrating Google's WAYMO in NYC

Event Photography Tells A Story

New York City is the most densely populated city in the country, with bustling avenues, unconventional roads, complex intersections, even more complex drivers, and constantly changing traffic parterns. Google’s self driving division, WAYMO, designed their driver interface to handle these types of complex and dynamic activities that define city driving. The vehicles, which are manually operated by autonomous specialists at all times, aim to scale self driving cars by learning.

As a NYC Event Photographer it is my job to capture the purpose of the event, the energy of the room, and the details that made the event memorable.

Tonight’s event celebrated the end of six months of successfully testing WAYMO in NYC. Several individuals from the NYC Department of Transportation were in attendance, transportation experts, and the Mayor, Eric Adams. When photographing events I always photograph event signage with branding, guests mingling, and guest having a great time (laughing, smile, speaking with their hands)

Manhattan's Newest Food Hall | Professional NYC Corporate Event Photographer

Photographing corporate events is an exciting experience for any NYC Event Photographer, no matter the occasion!

For tonight’s event, we photographed the soft opening of a new food hall for Boston Properties and their Marketing agency partner Bullfrog + BAUM. Our goals were to highlight the space, the vendors, and the guest’s reactions. The new food hall in located on Manhattan’s East side on 51st and Lexington. The space will be open to both the public and the thousands of employees working inside of the newly renovated building.

As Event Photographers it is our goal to photograph the 5 Ws: Who, What, When, Where, and Why of an event.

The 5 W’s, as I was taught in junior high school english, simply ask “What’s the point”. For an event photographer I need to answer the Who, What, When, Where, and Why the event occurred in each of my photos singularly and as a group. It is up to the client, the person hiring me, to decide how they will use our photos to tell a story or multiple stories.

  • Who attended the event?

  • Where was the event?

  • Why was this event important?

  • What was the event about?

  • When did the event occur? (Evening, Day, Fall, Summer)

Living Cities Reconnecting With The Community - Corporate Event Photographer

“Capturing your business and culture in action” has always been my philosophy when photographing corporate events. Having your event photographed by a professional event photographer, whether it be a conference or a small event, is just as important as sending a professional email. These photos show your business and its vital team members in their element. My images can be leveraged in vital marketing materials, social media posts, and internal documents.

Hiring a Professional Event Photographer to photograph your NYC event is a crucial part of your marketing, advertising, recruiting, and social media strategy.

I have been a New York City event and conferences photographer for over fifteen years, working with businesses and clients of all types. Seeing the diverse ways my photos are used is always exciting. My images are most often used to recruit talent, to sell products and services, advertise a reoccurring event, or just to reminisce the good times.

Private School Fundraiser Event Photography - GVS A Knight Out 2020

NYC Fundaiser Photographer

The Green Vale School parent community came together for A KNIGHT Out which was exactly that: a time to gather and dance, and celebrate Green Vale. With live and silent auctions generous donors and bidders opened their wallets for a good cause. I was lucky to be invited back as their event photographer.

Photographing a repeat event

2020 marked my fourth year photographing this event. This year, the school’s fundraiser was hosted at a new venue, which forced me to stoke my creative photography process . Like always, I arrived early to the evening so I could photograph room decorations, along with key group photos before guests arrived. Previously, I knew the event space and had a game plane on how to photograph the event throughout the evening. This included where and how I’d photograph the fundraiser’ speakers and guests. This year, I had to constantly adjust to photograph the event.

Event Photography - From Long Island to New York City

Regardless of where the event is and no matter how many hours you hire a photographer for the goal of that photographer is to document the event. Photographing detail photos, group shots, candids, and large photos showing off the space should be his/her goal.

Venue: The Space at Westbury

Joseph Lieberman | Yale Club NYC

Former Sen. Joe Lieberman, who represented Connecticut in the Senate from 1989 to 2013 and was chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, spoke to Yale alumni at the Yale Club in New York City. I photographed the event from the sides of the room and from several empty seats in the back of the room.

As an event photographer my job is to discreetly photograph the event as it happens and not to be distracting.

Playing the role of the Yale Club NYC Event Photographer for the evening I really tried to photograph all angles and perspectives. I photograph from the sides of the event, behind the speakers (remote camera), above the audience and through the audience, to make it feel like you too were sitting in the audience as you view my photos.
