It’s nice to shoot some office portraits that are a little outside the box. More fun, casual and playful than most of the headshots I do.

Remote Camera Setup at Conferences and Events
I photograph a lot of amazing conferences and meetings for so many different brands across the country and always try to setup a remote camera or additional wireless camera to act as another photographer from a fixed angel. The remote camera setup allows me to move around more for different and often more creative angels, while I can still guarantee that we have straight images of the stage and speaker setup. I'm often hired by the people who designed and created the stage so I have to document their work as well as photograph the meeting or conference in progress. Often hiding a remote camera can help create an image that wouldn't be possible from a standard photographers perspective, and I like to mount cameras on monopods to reach different angles.

If you need a conference, meeting, party or gala photographed and you think a remote camera would be a nice addition, please don't hesitate to reach out and email me here. I'm always happy to make new contacts and work with new clients. I'm also available for headshots, portraits and lifestyle shoots. I have a great team who can help produce some amazing content.

Shooting Fireworks with remote cameras
There are lots of ways to correctly photograph a fireworks display on the fourth of July at Whippoorwill, but with all of the options, why just stick with one method. I mounted 2 cameras on a tripod and set the shutter speed to 4 seconds and the aperture at F8 (ISO 200). Both cameras were triggered by a Pocket Wizard that was fired when my other Canon 5D Mark IV took a photo. One of the tricks I learned was to unmount the pocket wizard from the hotshot of the Canon, as it was causing a domino effect and shooting the other pocketwizards
