Roivant IPO at Nasdaq

Always fun to photograph an IPO at Nasdaq Marketplace. The outside photos are so cool with Times Square billboards surrounding everyone and some serious signage for the company. For the actual bell ringing it was a little different this time as I was assigned to the viewing party at Convene in Times Square. I had worked for Roivant before at a few of their parties so its nice to cover an IPO with a familiar client.

NYSE IPO Photographer for Powerschool

Powerschool IPO at the New York Stock Exchange with cocktails and dinner back at the NYSE and a quick trip to see the billboard advertisement in Times Square, near Nasdaq. It seems like I photograph an IPO every month at the moment. It’s nice to be back on the Trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange and photographing initial public offerings. Having worked for so many years at NYSE from 2010 to 2015 I know the space very well.

NYSE IPO Photographer for Beachbody on Wall Street

I always enjoy covering the opening bell photography at the New York Stock Exchange. It’s a fin morning to photograph an IPO or newly listed company hoping public. There’s always a few key photos to capture on the bell podium and group photos in front of the facade of the NYSE, but then theres plenty of fun to photos to take too. If you have an IPO coming up at the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, please do not hesitate to book me. Often the photography taken in house is owned exclusively by Nasdaq or NYSE, so bringing your own photographer can give you more freedom of usage.

New York Stock Exchange Video for Zeta Global IPO

Here is a short video that shows some of the moments during an IPO at the New York Stock Exchange. I’ve been working on my video production and editing skills. The company hired me to shoot stills only, but with a crafty GoPro mount I could capture some of the moments on video. If you ever need a photographer of videographer for your IPO, opening bell or closing bell, please let me know. I’ve photographed about 1000 opening and closing bells over the years and probably a few hundred initial public offerings at the NYSE and at Nasdaq.

Puxin IPO at the NYSE

After many years working as the photographer at the New York Stock Exchange it is always a pleasure to return to NYSE and photograph an event for an old client. I was hoping to spend the morning on the trading floor photographing the actual IPO, but instead I got to spend the evening in the iconic board room covering the party and speeches of the CEO of Puxin. Being the New York Stock Exchange's official photographer was an honor for nearly 5 years, but work as an independent photography business has continued to prove a pleasure. My photography business hasn't changed since 2009 when I graduated from the Pratt Institute with a Masters of Fine Art, but it continues to evolve with different clients being a priority. The New York Stock Exchange was one of my largest clients from 2010 - 2015 but in the past 3 years I've worked for some amazing clients and the diversity of work has been incredible. Photographing food, and food related events continues to be some of my most rewarding work.

New York Stock Exchange Photographer for Onesmart IPO

It was really great to be back working as a photographer at NYSE for a few days. If the opportunity arose I would be happy to photograph more IPO's on the iconic trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange or the amazing tech studio of Nasdaq. They both provide some really amazing photo opportunities for newly listed companies and being the photographer for a business on such an important milestone is always a pleasure. Since working as the full time photographer at the New York Stock Exchange I've covered many large meetings and events across the globe, but it was still nice to land a few photography jobs close to home in such a familiar setting. If you have an opening bell or closing bell that you'd like photographed and want to have worldwide usage for your pictures, then hiring an outside photographer is your best option. You can see the full gallery for this event here.

Greentree Hospitality Group IPO at the New York Stock Exchange

Greentree Hospitality Group IPO at the New York Stock Exchange on March 27, 2018 on Wall Street in New York City. It was great to be back at NYSE on the trading floor to photograph another IPO for my Investor Relations client Christensen IR. Greentree Hospitality group were another amazing Chinese company who went public on the New York Stock Exchange today. I'd love to cover more IPO's for future clients who might want additional photographs than the standard photographer provides and have them delivered immediately.
