Capturing Global Diplomacy: Photographing Foreign Policy’s UNGA Event at Studio Gather

As a corporate event photographer in NYC, I had the privilege of capturing Foreign Policy’s UN General Assembly event at Studio Gather by Tishman Speyer. Located high above Rockefeller Center, this venue offered a breathtaking backdrop for discussions shaping global diplomacy.

The event featured a dynamic panel discussion, bringing together thought leaders to address pressing global issues. My approach focused on balancing wide-angle shots to capture the grandeur of the venue and close-ups to highlight the intensity of the discussions. This dual perspective ensured a comprehensive visual narrative of the event.

Key Elements Captured:

• Panel Discussions: Photographed experts engaging in meaningful dialogue, emphasizing the significance of their contributions.

• Audience Engagement: Captured attendees' reactions and interactions, showcasing the event's impact on participants.

• Venue Ambiance: Highlighted the unique architectural features of Studio Gather, integrating the environment into the storytelling.

UN General Assembly 2024: Capturing Global Diplomacy in NYC | Jonathan Heisler Photography

Photographing the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York City is always an honor and a unique challenge. As a seasoned NYC corporate event photographer, I've had the privilege of capturing various high-profile events, but nothing compares to the scale and significance of UNGA.

In 2024, I was tasked with documenting the Turkish Mission's activities during the General Assembly. This included photographing President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's address, bilateral meetings, and various diplomatic engagements. The challenge was to balance the grandeur of the event with the intimate moments that define international diplomacy.

Key Aspects of UNGA Photography:

• High-Level Speeches: Capturing the intensity and significance of world leaders' addresses.

• Bilateral Meetings: Documenting one-on-one discussions between leaders, highlighting the nuances of international relations.

• Candid Moments: Photographing spontaneous interactions that reveal the human side of diplomacy.

• Venue Details: Highlighting the iconic architecture of the UN headquarters and the surrounding NYC skyline.

Utilizing a dual-camera setup, I ensured comprehensive coverage—from wide-angle shots that captured the scale of the assembly to close-ups that highlighted the emotions and expressions of the participants. This approach allowed for a diverse and dynamic representation of the event.

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.
