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)

Brooklyn STEAM Center x WAYMO - Autonomous Vehicles in NYC

, ,

The Brooklyn STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) Center is New York City's first public school program to be co-located within a business environment. The center is nestled within the Brooklyn Navy Yard, a 1,000,000 square-foot property which provides students with access to over 400 businesses and a 300-acre industrial park as an additional feature of their learning environment. Scholars attend the STEAM center in a shared instructional model exposing them to all different types of businesses.

Today, WAYMO, Google’s self driving car division showed the students their self driving Jaguar SUV and explained how autonomous driving is being researched, engineered, and implemented in the real world. The students asked great questions about the technology behind the car to different potential benefits of autonomous vehicles vs self driven cars. Considering many New Yorkers do not own a car, let alone have their driver's license the students asked great questions.

Photographing School Education Photos

Whether you are launching a rebranding effort, designing marketing materials, highlighting a program, or beginning a national ad campaign, I can help you take your imagery to the next level with world-class photography. It’s easy to photograph students with blank stares of boredom on their faces. It’s another to capture photos of students engaged, actively learning, and excited. Waiting for the perfect moment when student giggles, smirks, raises his or her hand, and speaks with emphasis is what I look for as a professional education photographer.

Photographing the NYSE Opening Bell For an IPO

Photographing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is such a unique NYC experience. It always brings back so many memories. There was my first time photographing on the floor of the NYSE for the London Business School, I had just graduated college, and then there was the last time I photographed at the NYSE.

Knowing how and where to photograph at the stock exchange is key, just like any event. As a corporate event photographer, whether it’s my first or tenth time at a location, the key to success is knowing where and when you can and can not photograph. Treat every opportunity to capture key photos as the only time you have. On today’s assignment, I photographing for a repeat client, a NYC based consulting firm and their clients, Avalon and Vertical.

Vertical, an all electric vertical aviation company was launching their IPO. My goals of the assignment were to capture the CEO of Avalon, an aviation leasing company and a major investor/ supporting of Vertical, and the CEO of Vertical interacting with one another. I also had to capturing several key group photos, moments (opening bell, a speech, etc,..) and the overall feel of the day.

Photographing the full story of the day, from start to finish and every detail in between, is key to documenting.

Once off of the floor of the NYSE both CEO's went in to a private backroom to field questions from journalists all over the world.

Celebration of Life | NYC Dinner Event Photographer

,

Photographing at Le Bernardin by chef Eric Ripert is always in honor. Last time I photographed a dinner at this world famous 5 star rated Manhattan, NY restaurant was in 2017 for a closed door, off the record event with former President George W. Bush. Tonight’s dinner was for a global consulting and finance firm to celebrate the world opening up post-COVID, surviving the past 20 months of tumultuous times, and coming together to see one another again.

Tips for hiring a NYC Event Photographer for your dinner.

Photos of people eating (shoveling food in to their mouths) makes for awkward photos. The best way to have your evening photographed is to have your photographer photograph the before dinner, the after dinner, and the moments in between. For tonight’s dinner event, I photographed the reception, parts of the dinner, a musical guests, and several small speeches.

Your photographer should not distract guests.

Whether it’s myself, or my team of professional photographers out on an assignment, we are constantly scanning the room looking for the next photo. We wait for people to smile, to laugh, to talk with their hands, and to embrace one another. These moments make great photographs, and tell the story of your event as a fun time.

Manhattan's Newest Food Hall | Professional NYC Corporate Event Photographer

,

Photographing corporate events is an exciting experience for any NYC Event Photographer, no matter the occasion!

For tonight’s event, we photographed the soft opening of a new food hall for Boston Properties and their Marketing agency partner Bullfrog + BAUM. Our goals were to highlight the space, the vendors, and the guest’s reactions. The new food hall in located on Manhattan’s East side on 51st and Lexington. The space will be open to both the public and the thousands of employees working inside of the newly renovated building.

As Event Photographers it is our goal to photograph the 5 Ws: Who, What, When, Where, and Why of an event.

The 5 W’s, as I was taught in junior high school english, simply ask “What’s the point”. For an event photographer I need to answer the Who, What, When, Where, and Why the event occurred in each of my photos singularly and as a group. It is up to the client, the person hiring me, to decide how they will use our photos to tell a story or multiple stories.

  • Who attended the event?

  • Where was the event?

  • Why was this event important?

  • What was the event about?

  • When did the event occur? (Evening, Day, Fall, Summer)

Living Cities Reconnecting With The Community - Corporate Event Photographer

“Capturing your business and culture in action” has always been my philosophy when photographing corporate events. Having your event photographed by a professional event photographer, whether it be a conference or a small event, is just as important as sending a professional email. These photos show your business and its vital team members in their element. My images can be leveraged in vital marketing materials, social media posts, and internal documents.

Hiring a Professional Event Photographer to photograph your NYC event is a crucial part of your marketing, advertising, recruiting, and social media strategy.

I have been a New York City event and conferences photographer for over fifteen years, working with businesses and clients of all types. Seeing the diverse ways my photos are used is always exciting. My images are most often used to recruit talent, to sell products and services, advertise a reoccurring event, or just to reminisce the good times.
