NYSE
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!

If you need a photographer for your IPO at Nasdaq or the NYSE please let me know. I have covered hundreds of IPO’s at the New York Stock Exchange and dozens at the Nasdaq Market Place in Times Square.
It’s been a little over 8 years since I stopped working at NYSE. It’s been an incredible journey and I’m thankful to all of the people who’ve supported me and my career since the transition. Working on the trading floor tonight and reminiscing on all the incredible IPOs and clients I met there

I seem to spend a lot of time in Times Square chasing billboards for photographs. It’s normally best to know the schedule and the exact location before heading out to Times Square to photograph a billboard. There are so many large ads playing everywhere in Times Square that it takes a lot of patience to capture images of the adverts.

Always fun to photograph an IPO at the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street. It was nice to head up to Times Square and get some group photos in front of the American Eagle Outfitters Billboard that NYSE reserves for listed companies. Benson Hill were a great group!
