Photographer for Bitfufu IPO at Nasdaq in Times Square

in , , ,

With 20 years of experience in event photography, including 5 years as the house photographer at the New York Stock Exchange, I’m looking to expand my work capturing IPOs and bell ringings at both the NYSE and Nasdaq. I’ve had the privilege of documenting some of the most exciting financial milestones, and I’d love the opportunity to bring my expertise to your next big event. If you’re in need of a photographer who knows how to capture the energy and significance of these moments, I’d be excited to connect and help bring your event to life.

Photographing the Bitfufu IPO at Nasdaq was a pretty incredible experience, especially with my background as the house photographer at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for five years. After shooting so many IPOs and market milestones at the NYSE, I knew this would be just as high-energy and fast-paced, but with a whole different vibe at Nasdaq. The moment Bitfufu made its debut on the big screen was one of those moments you just can’t miss.

The atmosphere at Nasdaq was buzzing. Everyone was excited, and I had to be on my toes to capture it all. With so many key moments happening at once, from the team’s reactions to the bell ringing, I had to stay quick on the trigger and make sure I got the best shots. My job was all about getting those raw, candid shots—whether it was the team celebrating, the stock ticker showing Bitfufu’s new listing, or those moments of focus and anticipation before the bell rang.

Having spent five years shooting at the NYSE, I’ve gotten really comfortable in fast-moving environments. I’m always thinking about angles and composition while keeping an eye out for those authentic moments. With an event like this, it’s important to be ready to snap the perfect shot as soon as it happens. The key was really capturing the vibe of the IPO—there’s a certain energy that comes with a company taking the next big step, and I love being able to document that in real-time.

What really made this shoot stand out, though, was the significance of Bitfufu’s IPO in the world of blockchain and cryptocurrency. It’s always exciting to photograph events like this, where the industry is evolving right before your eyes. Watching these companies and sectors make their mark on the global stage is inspiring, and I’m glad I could capture it in a way that tells the story of the day.

In the end, photographing the Bitfufu IPO at Nasdaq was a fast-paced but rewarding experience. Between getting the perfect angles, focusing on the right moments, and making sure the lighting was spot-on, it was a great reminder of how much I love shooting major milestones.

Qatar Airways landing in JFK

It’s not everyday that you get to drive across a runway for a photo. Huge appreciation and thanks to the team at the Port Authority and Ketchum for setting this one up

Photographing on the runway at JFK was a thrilling experience. There’s something really exciting about being so close to the action, capturing planes as they take off and land, with the hustle and bustle of the airport in the background. The energy of the space, combined with the precision of the operations, made for some truly dynamic shots.

The challenge of photographing fast-moving planes required a quick eye and the right timing to get the perfect shot. It’s not every day you get to stand on a runway and shoot these massive machines in motion, so being able to document that moment felt special. Between the dramatic lighting, the sleek designs of the aircraft, and the endless movement of the airport, it was a unique shoot that kept me on my toes and reminded me of the excitement that comes with capturing moments in such a fast-paced environment. It was a fun and unforgettable experience, and I’m always looking for more opportunities to photograph places with that kind of energy.

Digitizing the sense of smell

I’d love to spend more time photographing pharmaceutical and medical brands. Having worked with companies like Catalent and IFF, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the level of precision and care that goes into capturing the essence of this industry. Whether it’s documenting cutting-edge research, showcasing the people behind the products, or highlighting the impact of medical innovations, I’m always eager to bring my experience to the table. If you’re in the pharmaceutical or medical field and need a photographer who understands the importance of clear, professional, and impactful imagery, I’d be excited to collaborate and help bring your brand’s story to life.

Being able to meet and photograph Ice T in the studio was such an incredible opportunity. I listened to his music as a kid in London and always felt like he was the voice of NY.
