NYC Event Photographer

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.

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)

Celebration of Life | NYC Dinner Event Photographer

,

Photographing at Le Bernardin by chef Eric Ripert is always in honor. Last time I photographed a dinner at this world famous 5 star rated Manhattan, NY restaurant was in 2017 for a closed door, off the record event with former President George W. Bush. Tonight’s dinner was for a global consulting and finance firm to celebrate the world opening up post-COVID, surviving the past 20 months of tumultuous times, and coming together to see one another again.

Tips for hiring a NYC Event Photographer for your dinner.

Photos of people eating (shoveling food in to their mouths) makes for awkward photos. The best way to have your evening photographed is to have your photographer photograph the before dinner, the after dinner, and the moments in between. For tonight’s dinner event, I photographed the reception, parts of the dinner, a musical guests, and several small speeches.

Your photographer should not distract guests.

Whether it’s myself, or my team of professional photographers out on an assignment, we are constantly scanning the room looking for the next photo. We wait for people to smile, to laugh, to talk with their hands, and to embrace one another. These moments make great photographs, and tell the story of your event as a fun time.

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.

Disney Night Before Christmas NYC Activation Event

,

Saturday we were hired to photograph Disney’s celebration of “Christmas in July” featuring the Night Before Christmas. The event was an activation with merchandise, characters, live music, and non-alcoholic drinks. As NYC Event Photographers we photograph a wide array of events from store openings and activations promoting brand awareness to more formal conferences and galas/fundraisers.

Hire a professional NYC event photographer who knows and understands the type of photos you are looking for. Great photos show your guests engaged. Great photos make great marketing and advertising content.

Prior photographing the event, I requested a “shot list” from the client detailing the type of images they were looking for and what specifically we should photograph besides the usual. Event photographers are not always tasked with just photographing posed and candid photos of people. Often we are responsible for photographing the room setup, which will be used for future reference, photos of product, and photos of special VIPs with certain guests or board members. As a professional photographer, I know the types of questions to ask before I even arrive.

What makes the best Professional NYC Event Photographer the best is their experience!

Having photographed hundreds of events throughout New York City and beyond, I know what and when I need to photograph. I always arrive early to capture setup photos, as not to get guests / staff in my shots, and to make sure I am ready to go at event start time.

On today’s shoot, I wanted to show off the production team’s attention to detail in the set’s design and the location of the event. I photographed a ton of setup photos and tried as much as possible to feature New York City in each shot. For a photo looking down at the event, I went to the top floor of a nearby building.
