Happy to fly to Las Vegas for a conference, especially when it’s produced by Proscenium. They light and executive everything perfectly!

Roivant IPO at Nasdaq

in , ,

Always fun to photograph an IPO at Nasdaq Marketplace. The outside photos are so cool with Times Square billboards surrounding everyone and some serious signage for the company. For the actual bell ringing it was a little different this time as I was assigned to the viewing party at Convene in Times Square. I had worked for Roivant before at a few of their parties so its nice to cover an IPO with a familiar client.

Shooting Productions with Remote Cameras

in ,

Covering a conference as a single photographer is always a pretty large undertaking. It often means you’re expected to be in two places at once. Thankfully I wasn’t the lead photographer on this meeting in Las Vegas, but was working for my favorite production company, Proscenium. They always want sweeping panoramic of their incredible stage design, lighting and production. With a few remote cameras hidden around the venue I can shoot from multiple locations at the same time, and with each camera timed along with my lead camera I can capture the lighting at its best. I shot these stills with a large selection of cameras including a Fujifilm GFX 50R, Sony A7iii, Sony A9, Fujifilm XF70 and a little Ricoh GR. Both point and shoots are set to a time-lapse setting of every 30 seconds. One of the hardest parts is keeping all the cameras charged.

Washington DC Conference Photography

in ,

Traveling to Washington DC is so easy with the express Acela train, that covering a conference there is a pleasure. Being a Washington DC based photographer seems a little too political or news based for me, but traveling to cover a conference is always a nice change of pace from working in NY.

All photos take with the Sony A9 and Sony 70-200mm F2.8 Lens at Convene in Arlington, Virginia

Las Vegas Conference Photographer

I love traveling as a photographer for clients. It allows me some time to see new places and work for new people. Of course a lot of my work is based in New York, but this month I travelled to Las Vegas and Los Angeles for Proscenium to cover 2 large conferences. My main juseob in Las Vegas was to document the incredible set, stage and lighting built and designed by Proscenium. I setup a few remote cameras around the venue at The Sands in Las Vegas and fired them while also shooting center stage with a long lens. I use a few Canon 5D Mark IV bodies with pocket wizard triggers and have found the new Fuji XF10 is a really great little remote camera to shoot stages with. It has a built in intervalometer and 24 megapixel APS-C size sensor. The files are perfect.

Shooting a conference with Remote Cameras

When companies create this amazing sets with huge LED screens and perfect theater lighting, it’s important to capture the whole scene, but thats not always possible all the time with just one camera, so I hide cameras around the venue, normally a fisheye and a fixed long lens, but also have been playing around with the ew Gopro Hero 7 and it’s lowlight capabilities shooting Raw files.

I was particularly happy with the Hooters stage, as I went out to their large location outside of Atlanta Georgia and photographed a very wide interior for the screen behind them.
