Photographing at the United Nations during the General Assembly (UNGA) is always a special occasion. As an NYC based event photographer, who has been around presidents, CEOs, and celebrities alike, nothing compares to how special and unique UNGA is. And everyone in attendance understands and appreciates how unique of an event this singular week is, as the world’s leaders and top thinkers (NGO, journalists, think tanks) come together to discuss the challenges of the day.

When photographing at UNGA, just like at any other event, I capture the details, the quick but important candid moments, and the posed moments as well. Photographing for Turkey House and the president of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is always a lot of fun.
