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.

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.

The Art of Sushi Book Launch

When photographing the Art of Sushi book launch in New York City I wanted to captured the celebration of the craft, its tradition, and connection throughout the sushi community. The event brought together chefs, food enthusiasts, and friends of the author for an intimate night that combined the elegance of Japanese cuisine with the excitement of the author’s first book.

Guests ate sushi, watched as chefs demonstrated their mastery, rolling and plating pieces with precision. I focused on capturing the small but meaningful details — the textures of fresh ingredients, and the guests’ expressions as they interacted with the book, the vendors, and one another . Between the close-up shots of the food and the candid reactions in the crowd, the event offered a perfect big moments and small ones alike.

As the evening went on, guests enjoyed tasting the sushi, sharing conversations, and flipping through their copies of The Art of Sushi. I took a mix of candid and posed photos, including small group portraits with the author and chefs. The low evening light and minimalist setup made the images feel warm, authentic, and refined — the kind of timeless look I aim for in every event gallery.
