NYSE Photographer for Sunlands IPO

March 23, 2018 in Event Photographer

Today I was the photographer for the Sunlands IPO at the New York Stock Exchange. It has been a few years since I was back on the trading floor, and it was good to photograph another IPO on the iconic NYSE floor. I spent nearly 5 years working as the in house photographer at the NYSE and it was a great place to meet a lot of the amazing clients I work with now. It was really great to be back though and would love to cover more IPO's for future clients who go public. I've also photographed a few IPO's at Nasdaq in Times Square.

Accenture Tech Summit Remote Camera Setup

Accenture Tech Summit Remote Camera Setup. I always love using a fixed remote camera at conferences, it gives you a clean plate of the stage and all of the graphics that are designed for the summit. It's a good photographers trick to cover the stage and give yourself a fixed angle that is clean and always the same.

A remote camera at the back of the room is always a good idea especially when they have such an amazing set design and huge LED backdrop. I setup my Canon 5D Mark IV with a Poicket Wizard and just let it tick along as I'm shooting from my roaming camera (Sony A9)

It's always a pleasure to photograph the Opening Bell at the Nasdaq after so many years working as the house photographer at NYSE and photographing the opening and closing bell ceremony on the trading floor, it's nice to be part of the high tech studio in Times Square for Fox. I'm always looking for more opportunities to photograph IPO's and Opening bell or closing bell ceremonies. If you need a photographer for your IPO or Opening bell, please feel free to reach out.

Conference Photographer in Orlando, Florida

February 12, 2018 in Event Photographer

It's always great to travel and see new places, but also nice to travel to familiar locations and cover conferences with the amazing team from Proscenium. I've worked in Florida a few times the past year and it's a good place to spend a week working and warming up outside of NY.
