What a pleasure to be in the presence of all of these amazing speakers at the Commit to Grow Equality event hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization.

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.
