Florida International University Business School - New York City Visit

Florida International University business students visited an array of New York City companies to learn about their day to day operations, business strategies, and potential job opportunities. The FIU business students even interviewed for summer 2020 internships and full-time positions at several of the companies. Throughout the week long trip, the students visited the NBA HQ, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Black Rock, IHS MarkIT, and Goldman Sachs.

Throughout the week I photographed the students actively engaging industry professionals of all different seniority levels. During a quick break I was able to offer the students headshot photos as well in a shaded area of Bryant Park.

NYC LSAT Class - TestMasters

“Engagement” and “active participation”, or in everyday terms “looking interested in what’s going on and participating”, not only make an image successful, but the ad and the message it’s associate with successful. Images like the ones above convey a message of “this class is not boring and the professor is not just lecturing”.

I have photographed for Test Masters of California before and every time I have photographed for them, I’ve always enjoyed the challenge. TestMasters provides me the creative freedom I seek when capturing images Higher Education style images.

“Engagement” and “active participation” are the two most popular buzzwords I hear when photographing higher education and corporate work. These two factors do not just make an image or a shoot successful, but they make an advertising campaign successful as well. Images like the one above convey messages of caring, excitement, energy, and connection. Great images both effectively and efficiently convey so much, so quickly.

Capturing for Test Masters of California presented me with a lot of creative freedoms, but it also presented me with several big challenges. These challenges included a short window of scheduled shooting time, a limited ability to stylize scenes, a live class I could not interrupt, and poor lighting. Upon request, I received a detailed shot list and broke each goal in to a scheduled time frame.
