I’ve been back at the New York Stock Exchange to photograph a few events recently. It’s great working at NYSE and an independent photographer. I’m not sure I could do it every day again, but once in a while it’s great!

After many years working as the photographer at the New York Stock Exchange it is always a pleasure to return to NYSE and photograph an event for an old client. I was hoping to spend the morning on the trading floor photographing the actual IPO, but instead I got to spend the evening in the iconic board room covering the party and speeches of the CEO of Puxin. Being the New York Stock Exchange's official photographer was an honor for nearly 5 years, but work as an independent photography business has continued to prove a pleasure. My photography business hasn't changed since 2009 when I graduated from the Pratt Institute with a Masters of Fine Art, but it continues to evolve with different clients being a priority. The New York Stock Exchange was one of my largest clients from 2010 - 2015 but in the past 3 years I've worked for some amazing clients and the diversity of work has been incredible. Photographing food, and food related events continues to be some of my most rewarding work.

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.

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