Urban Stages Production Stills

I always love photographing production stills for off broadway theater productions and I'm especially happy to help smaller theaters like Urban Stages. I use a remote camera to photograph straight shots of the stage to document the lighting and stage design and then move around the front row to capture the actors in more detail

Hexindai IPO at Nasdaq

It's quite an organized and civilized process that Nasdaq handle perfectly.

Alibaba Gateway '17 Conference in Toronto

Here is one of my favorite photos from the past week in Toronto for Alibaba Gateway '`17
