Capturing the 2025 We Are All Human Foundation Gala at Cipriani Wall Street

NYC Corporate Event Photography | Multi-Camera Remote Coverage = The Best Gala Photos

In October, the We Are All Human Foundation gathered in New York City for its 2025 Annual Gala—an inspiring celebration of global unity, leadership, and impact. Hosted at Cipriani Wall Street, the event brought together leaders from business, government, and philanthropy at the conclusion of a week-long conference held across New York City celebrating Hispanic Leadership.

And this year, our team did something most corporate event photographers do at a gala: We positioned multiple remote-mounted cameras throughout the venue. This allowed us to captured wide shots and zoomed in close ups from unique positions that would be difficult and time consuming to access throughout the night. The result? Dynamic, coverage from every angle without disrupting the flow of the evening or missing key moments (I.e. Awards being given out, the live auction, guests reactions). Besides candids and wide photos from above, we gathered key individuals for group photos and watched for the moments that defined the evening by being present amongst attendees on the ground.

The Key gala moments we captured

When working with new clients and existing clients we always go in to an event with a “shot list”. These are the key moments and people we know the client wants captured. From there, we learn who is who using LinkedIn and throughout the night we are checking each item off of our list.

  • Inspiring speeches from global leaders

  • A live auction led by the exceptional auctioneer team at J. Towers Perkins

  • High-energy Cirque du Soleil performances honoring their CEO

  • Award presentations and honoree moments

  • Elegant cocktail receptions & networking

  • Branded press and media activations

  • Candid emotional reactions and guest interactions

  • The step and repeat

From the emotional standing ovations to the high-flying acrobatics overhead, this gala was a fusion of elegance, excitement, and purpose—and our imagery reflects that. As a NYC corporate event photographer, I’m passionate about capturing elevated moments for global brands, nonprofits, and forward-thinking organizations—especially when we can combine creativity and technology to deliver exceptional coverage.

If you’re planning a NYC gala, corporate summit, awards ceremony, or multi-day conference, let’s talk about how we can bring your event to life—on camera and beyond.

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.

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.

Sati Uniti Tribeca Showroom Event with Eleonora Srugo

,

The Sati Uniti team hosted a special evening in their new Tribeca showroom, celebrating Italian craftsmanship and modern kitchen design. The event featured guest speaker Eleonora Srugo, known from Netflix’s Selling New York, who joined the President of Sati Uniti for a conversation on design, trends versus timeless luxury, and what continues to make New York such an iconic city.

While photographing the event, my focus was on capturing guests as they moved through the space — exploring the kitchen displays, talking design, and interacting with the fixtures themselves. The atmosphere felt relaxed and genuine, with conversations happening naturally among beautifully designed interiors. I photographed candid moments, coordinated group portraits, and posed shots with Eleonora and the Sati Uniti team.

Events like this, whether a small speaker session or a large-scale gala, share the same goal: documenting people having a good time. My approach stays consistent — capture the energy, the faces, and the moments that tell the story of the evening.

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.
