Nordstrom's Holiday Treasure Hunt

Here’s what chat GPT says

Working as the photographer for Mary Giuliani Catering at the Nordstrom Holiday event was such a fun and festive experience! The event had that perfect holiday vibe—elegant, but with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made everyone feel right at home. Mary Giuliani Catering truly outdid themselves, with stunning displays of delicious food and drink that were almost too beautiful to eat (but of course, everyone did!).

It was a blast capturing the guests enjoying themselves, mingling, and indulging in the incredible bites that Mary and her team had crafted. I loved snapping candid moments of people enjoying the delicious food and the beautiful decor while getting that cozy holiday spirit in every shot. The team’s attention to detail, from the elegant table settings to the perfectly arranged hors d'oeuvres, made my job so much easier.

Beyond the beautiful spread, it was clear that the event was all about creating memorable experiences, and I felt lucky to be there to document those moments. Whether it was the laughter shared over a cocktail or a guest admiring the stunning holiday displays, there was no shortage of genuine, joyful moments to capture.

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.
