9/11 Memorial 5k Run in Lower Manhattan. I love covering different kid of events around the city, and this 5k is probably one of the few sports events I cover every year. Forever grateful for the connection with Jin, the director of photography at the 9/11 Memorial.

SUNY Maritime Faculty and Staff Headshots on campus in The Bronx, New York. It's always interesting meeting such a wide range of people and characters. The location was incredible with the training ship under the Throgs Neck bridge. Another full day of headshots completed and more work for NYNJHeadshots.com - my new portrait and headshot business that launched this month. Please do not hesitate to reach out for any photography needs. We have a great team of photographers and assistants who make any day of portraits run smoothly. We even work closely with a few make up artists who can help make executives and business people look their best.

Landmark CIO Summit 2016

Landmark CIO Summit 2016 at 10 on the Park in Columbus Circle in New York City. It was a pleasure working for a new client on this interesting tech conference. They kept all the speakers brief and that meant it captured the audience interest more than some conferences. I really enjoy spending the day shooting interesting people talking about topics they clearly love.

It's never easy to gather so many people in a photograph, but with a little planning and some experience directing executives, this photo came out pretty great. I'm often asked if I can do such large groups, so here is a good example. Ben Hider - Event, Food and Portrait Photographer based in New York City and Westchester
