Orbis Gala 2025 at the Rainbow Room

The 2025 Orbis Gala took place at the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center, raising funds for Orbis’s mission to deliver eye care and training around the world through its Flying Eye Hospital program. The evening combined purpose and elegance, with guests gathering high above the city for a night dedicated to global impact.

We began the evening photographing the step and repeat as guests arrived, followed by coverage of the cocktail hour, honoree presentations, and speeches throughout the night. As the sun set over Manhattan, the atmosphere of the Rainbow Room transformed — soft daylight gave way to the venue’s signature purple uplighting, creating a dramatic contrast against the 360° skyline view.

In addition to documenting key moments, we focused on candid interactions and small group portraits throughout the evening. From guests connecting during cocktails to the emotional moments on stage, our goal was to capture both the spirit and story of the night.

For every event — whether it’s a gala like this or a smaller corporate celebration — we work closely with clients to identify key people and moments in advance. That preparation ensures each gallery reflects both the energy of the evening and the people behind it.

Fundraiser at Tribeca 360° During UN General Assembly | New York Corporate Event Photography

As an NYC Corporate Event Photographer, I get to capture events of all different types, sizes, and purposes. Annual events like the Upwardly Global “Brighter Futures Together” Gala 2025, held at Tribeca 360° in New York City is an event I photograph every year. Seeing familiar faces is a warm feeling, but hearing the different stories of the night and experiencing each years’ different format is the real creative challenge, which I love. The day spanned from early gatherings through evening festivities, offering a a spectrum of light, emotion, and narrative to document.

Throughout the event, my team and I (2 photographers + myself) tracked every moment—from arrival with registration, the step and repeat, cocktail hour, and a mini- networking session to the elegant gala program full of awards, performances, and an a auction. Together, we worked to capture it all. The oscillation between spontaneous interactions and staged moments created a dynamic visual story—guests in conversation, laughter between speakers, as well as the energy of the room shifting as day became night.

Fast turnaround is always my promise. Within a short timeframe, clients received a curated gallery ideal for press, social media, internal communications, and future promotions.

Corporate Event Photography at The Edge: Dinner & Casino Night at Peak

,

As a New York City corporate event photographer, I recently had the privilege of capturing a spectacular evening at Peak, the private event space atop The Edge at Hudson Yards. The dinner & casino night was a beautiful blend of elegance, energy, and connection — all framed by sweeping views 101 floors above the Manhattan skyline.

My focus throughout the night was on storytelling through both formal moments and candid interactions: the speeches celebrating the company’s achievements; intimate networking conversations by the floor-to-ceiling windows; dramatic rooftop views against the city lights. When guests later moved into the casino portion — blackjack, poker, roulette — I looked for creative vantage points to capture laughter, suspense, and the joy of the evening’s entertainment.

Combining group shots, detail work, and atmospheric cityscape moments is central to my style. Whether it’s reflections on glass, ambient lighting, or bold architecture, I aim to deliver images that feel both polished and authentic. If you want a Manhattan corporate event photographer who makes every moment count, I’d love to bring this level of care to your next event.

Corporate Networking Dinner at Locanda Verde Tribeca

As a Manhattan Corporate Event Photographer, I capture a wide variety of event; galas, fundraisers, networking events, and small dinners. Tonight’s event held at the atmospheric Locanda Verde was small, intimate, and quite short from my perspective. I was only able to photographer 30minutes of drinks and the first 15minutes of dinner. I focused on capturing spontaneous moments of conversation and excitement that defined the night, and two short speeches.

From close-ups of plated courses to wide shots of the venue’s distinctive architecture, my goal was to tell the full story of the dinner. I framed guests in engaging candid interactions — laughter over toast, handshake connections, side conversations in soft lighting — while also dedicating time to formal group portraits on the terrace and in the dining room. These images offer a nuanced narrative: polished professionalism with a personal touch.

Timely delivery is one of my cornerstones. After the event, clients received a curated gallery highlighting key moments and standout visuals—ideal for PR, internal newsletters, and social media.

Behind the Scenes at the 2025 US Open | NYC Corporate Event Photographer

,

As a New York City corporate event photographer, few assignments bring together prestige and energy quite like capturing exclusive moments at the US Open. I recently covered events hosted by IBM, including an intimate conversation featuring legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova—two icons whose legacy continues to inspire both sports and innovation.

Their conversation wasn’t just about matches past, but about leadership, rivalry, and what’s next for the sport. I focused on capturing both formal moments—the poised stage presence and audience engagement—and those in-between, authentic interactions behind the scenes: a quiet laugh, a thoughtful gaze, or the connection between speakers and listeners.

Corporate Photography at Global Events
Photographing corporate events like this goes far beyond staged moments and group shots. It’s about capturing:

  • Authentic connections between speakers and audience

  • Brand storytelling through event design, logos, and atmosphere

  • Candid behind-the-scenes moments that matter as much as the main stage

My style marries polished group and detail shots with a storytelling approach. Whether it’s dramatic lighting, reflective surfaces, or the tension of an iconic moment, these images become more than photos—they become visual narratives that reflect brand, culture, leadership, and purpose. For businesses using these images in marketing, media, or internal branding, the difference lies in authenticity and quality.

Chanel Factory New York Summer Party at City Winery NYC

As an NYC Event Photographer working with corporate clients, I understand documenting the Chanel Factory New York Summer Party hosted at the vibrant City Winery. This evening event took place in the afternoon and went until after sunset, allowing me to capture the changing light.

I made sure to capture guests against the backdrop of the Hudson River and Lower Manhattan with the pier 26 view. I focused on capturing candid moments, including laughter between colleagues, spontaneous conversations, and posed groups. I also captured detailed shots of branded elements scattered throughout the venue.. As the event evolved into the evening, the mood shifted: the skyline lit up, and guests gathered for group portraits at sunset. I moved between staged group shots and natural, in-the-moment coverage to preserve both the formal and relaxed energy of the night.

One highlight was capturing the sunset group portraits. The mix of architecture, natural light, and guest energy allowed me to create images that feel both polished and evocative. After the event, I delivered a curated gallery that balances posed headshots, environmental storytelling shots, and detail imagery ideal for social media, press, or internal recaps.
