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 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.
NYSE Photographer in New York City
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.

An excellent event at Cipriani's modtown with the CEO of Pepsi and the Ethisphere crew.
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.

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.
