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.

As An NYC Corporate Event Photographer My Job Is All About Story Telling

As an NYC event photographer my job is to tell the story of my client's culture, their people, and what makes them unique. Photographing both the big moments and small moments, along with everything in between, is the way to properly photograph an event.

Memories of a Former Attorney General - Bill Barr

Photographing the former Attorney General at the University Club comprised of capturing a meet and greet, a formal speaking session, and a book signing. When photographing events, no matter who the subject is or the event, I always try to show emotion and energy in my photos. It’s so easy to capture attendees looking bored and uninterested. A quality event photographer searches for and capture the little moments that matter the most; smiles, laughing, clapping, hand waving.

Celebrating Google's WAYMO in NYC

Event Photography Tells A Story

New York City is the most densely populated city in the country, with bustling avenues, unconventional roads, complex intersections, even more complex drivers, and constantly changing traffic parterns. Google’s self driving division, WAYMO, designed their driver interface to handle these types of complex and dynamic activities that define city driving. The vehicles, which are manually operated by autonomous specialists at all times, aim to scale self driving cars by learning.

As a NYC Event Photographer it is my job to capture the purpose of the event, the energy of the room, and the details that made the event memorable.

Tonight’s event celebrated the end of six months of successfully testing WAYMO in NYC. Several individuals from the NYC Department of Transportation were in attendance, transportation experts, and the Mayor, Eric Adams. When photographing events I always photograph event signage with branding, guests mingling, and guest having a great time (laughing, smile, speaking with their hands)
