Times Square Billboard Photography at Nasdaq Closing Bell

It’s always great to photograph the closing bell at both the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq in New York City, Unfortunately so many of those opportunities have become virtual. Thankfully I was hired by a marketing PR firm to document the exterior facade of the Nasdaq as a company rings the closing bell virtually. Its such an awesome thing to be in Times Square photographing an event again. To book me for closing bell photography at either Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange please email me.

After photographing over a thousand opening and closing bells at the New York Stock Exchange, its always a pleasure to cover an opening bell ceremony at either market place, NYSE or Nasdaq. They always manage to run a very well oiled machine at Nasdaq in Times Square. The event team and photographer are both calm and efficient and are very welcoming to an additional photographer to photograph the opening bell ceremony

Yintech Nasdaq Advertisement

A Chinese company called Yintech recently hired me to photograph a commercial that they ran on the facade of Nasdaq in Times Square. The advert ran twice an hour and had 46 portraits presented during the complete commercial that was split into two 30 second slots. They needed video and stills shot of the entire campaign. that ran both on Nasdaq and Reuters during the day and at night.
