Corporate events and professional networking without alcohol being the sole focus continues to evolve, and one of the most exciting trends we’re seeing is the rise of activities; escape rooms, pickle / padel sports, art exhibit outings, and cooking classes. Fast-paced, engaging, social, and universally approachable activities perfectly blend friendly competition and networking. It genuinely makes a great opportunity for great, fun, happy photos. Recently, I photographd a corporate padel tournament in Midtown Manhattan, capturing not only the athletes on the court but also the conversations and connections that unfolded around the event.
Below is a “behind-the-lens” look at how we approached photographing this dynamic corporate experience—and how thoughtful event imagery elevates your brand and sells people on your culture. When capturing the event I focussed on 5 key aspects listed below:
Showcasing the Energy of the Game
Capturing the Guests Who Weren’t Playing
Candid Networking Moments
Food, Hospitality & Atmosphere
Balancing Branding, Candidness & Professionalism
