NYC Panel Discussion Photography | Corporate Event Photographer in Manhattan

As an NYC corporate event photographer, I specialize in capturing both the formal and candid moments that define professional gatherings. Recently, I photographed a panel discussion hosted by Foreign Policy during UN Women’s Week in Chelsea, Manhattan. The event brought together leaders and professionals to discuss global issues surrounding gender equality, requiring a balance of polished stage coverage and intimate attendee moments.

My approach to panel discussion photography focuses on several key aspects. I highlight the speakers, capturing each panelist’s expressions and engagement with fellow presenters. I also showcase the audience, documenting reactions that bring authenticity and context to the event. Branding elements, including Foreign Policy’s signage and sponsor logos, are carefully photographed to tell a complete visual story. Finally, candid moments—such as laughter, thoughtful reflections, and connections between attendees—illustrate the event’s impact beyond the formal discussion.

To provide comprehensive coverage, I utilized a combination of wide-angle shots to show the venue and attendance, along with close-ups of panelists and attendees. This approach ensures clients receive a visually compelling record of their event that conveys both scale and emotion.

Capturing the Magic: Photographing a Corporate Masquerade Party in SoHo, NYC

As an NYC corporate event photographer, I specialize in capturing both the elegance and energy of unique professional gatherings. Recently, I photographed a corporate masquerade party in SoHo, Manhattan, where attendees wore intricate masks and elegant evening wear. The event was full of sophistication, mystery, and dynamic interactions, making it an ideal opportunity to document both grand moments and intimate details.

Key aspects of the masquerade photography included:

  • Highlighting the Guests: Capturing expressions, elegant attire, and interactions that brought the event to life.

  • Showcasing the Venue and Decor: Lighting, décor, and thematic elements were photographed to reflect the immersive experience.

My approach blends formal group and portrait shots with candid storytelling, ensuring each gallery reflects the event’s sophistication and vibrancy.

Brilliant Leadership - Photographing a book signing

As a corporate event photographer my goals are always to capture the 5Ws of an event; Who, What, Where, When, and Why. Today’s assignment was out of NYC on Long Island at the Manhasset Bay Yacht Club. I made sure to showcase not only the author, her family, and her guests, but the venue and it’s beautiful views / atmosphere. I spent ample time 1 on 1 with the author capturing posed photos of her holding her book, signing her book, and interacting with guests as they discussed the books different themes. Before guests arrived, I captured family photos both inside and out. My goal was to capture images the publisher and author could use in media, social media, and in other publications to promote the book.
