NYSE Photography - Venu IPO

in , ,

Shooting the Venu IPO at the NYSE was an exciting return to familiar ground for me, having worked there every day as the house photographer for years. Armed with my Canon R3, I captured everything from the buzz on the trading floorto the big moment at the bell-ringing ceremony. The fast autofocus and high-speed shooting of the R3 made it easy to keep up with the action, whether it was executives celebrating, traders reacting, or the company’s logo lighting up the iconic NYSE screens. I switched between a wide-angle lens for the sweeping energy of the floor and a telephoto lens to get tight shots of leadership. The NYSE lighting can be tricky, but knowing the space so well, I adjusted my ISO, shutter speed, and aperture on the fly to keep everything crisp. Later, I fine-tuned the shots in Lightroom and Photoshop, making sure Venu had stunning images for their press releases, social media, and investor relations. See more photos here and here

If you need a photographer for your IPO at Nasdaq or the NYSE please let me know. I have covered hundreds of IPO’s at the New York Stock Exchange and dozens at the Nasdaq Market Place in Times Square.

I’d love to photograph more galas and high-profile parties around New York City. There’s something about the elegance, energy, and excitement of these events that really makes for some unforgettable shots. From the stunning venues to the stylish guests, I love capturing the little details that tell the story of a night to remember. If you're planning a special event and need a photographer who knows how to capture those glamorous moments, I’d be thrilled to help make your celebration look as amazing as it feels!

NYRP Sherman Creek Video

in ,

Working as a photographer has been my main source of income for the past 15 years, but recently I’ve really focused on making moving images, or videos and I’m so happy that NYRP have asked for more content like this. Setting up a Sony A9 in Sherman Creek with a lavalier microphone and a small DJI Mini 2 drone is really all I need to shoot this content. If you need a quick short for social media or to promote you’re brand I’d love to work on it.

The New York Botanical Gardens (NYBG) is one of the best places in New York City to see the change of the season and nothing could be more colorful than these fall leaves as a backdrop at the Family Forest.
