Documenting Global Dialogue: Foreign Policy Magazine’s NCDs Event at Apella NYC

As a seasoned NYC event photographer, I specialize in documenting high-profile events that shape global discourse. Recently, I had the privilege of photographing Foreign Policy Magazine's event at Apella NYC, focusing on non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

Held at Apella by Alexandria, renowned for its intimate setting and stunning views of the East River, the event brought together leaders from around the world for an impactful evening of dialogue, strategy, and collaboration.

Capturing such a significant event required a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the subject matter. My approach combined candid moments with formal shots, ensuring that the essence of the discussions and the atmosphere of the venue were preserved.

Professional event photography plays a crucial role in documenting influence and extending reach across media platforms. High-quality visuals help reinforce authority and preserve the story of meaningful global engagement.

The Art of Sushi Book Launch

When photographing the Art of Sushi book launch in New York City I wanted to captured the celebration of the craft, its tradition, and connection throughout the sushi community. The event brought together chefs, food enthusiasts, and friends of the author for an intimate night that combined the elegance of Japanese cuisine with the excitement of the author’s first book.

Guests ate sushi, watched as chefs demonstrated their mastery, rolling and plating pieces with precision. I focused on capturing the small but meaningful details — the textures of fresh ingredients, and the guests’ expressions as they interacted with the book, the vendors, and one another . Between the close-up shots of the food and the candid reactions in the crowd, the event offered a perfect big moments and small ones alike.

As the evening went on, guests enjoyed tasting the sushi, sharing conversations, and flipping through their copies of The Art of Sushi. I took a mix of candid and posed photos, including small group portraits with the author and chefs. The low evening light and minimalist setup made the images feel warm, authentic, and refined — the kind of timeless look I aim for in every event gallery.
