Stage
Happy to fly to Las Vegas for a conference, especially when it’s produced by Proscenium. They light and executive everything perfectly!

I love traveling as a photographer for clients. It allows me some time to see new places and work for new people. Of course a lot of my work is based in New York, but this month I travelled to Las Vegas and Los Angeles for Proscenium to cover 2 large conferences. My main juseob in Las Vegas was to document the incredible set, stage and lighting built and designed by Proscenium. I setup a few remote cameras around the venue at The Sands in Las Vegas and fired them while also shooting center stage with a long lens. I use a few Canon 5D Mark IV bodies with pocket wizard triggers and have found the new Fuji XF10 is a really great little remote camera to shoot stages with. It has a built in intervalometer and 24 megapixel APS-C size sensor. The files are perfect.

It's always great to travel and see new places, but also nice to travel to familiar locations and cover conferences with the amazing team from Proscenium. I've worked in Florida a few times the past year and it's a good place to spend a week working and warming up outside of NY.
It's always great to spend some time in Los Angeles especially when I'm hired to photograph a huge motorcycle gathering and conference for such an iconic brand. A huge thanks to the Proscenium team who create these incredible stages and backdrops for these images.

Sometimes you have no idea what a photo shoot is going to entail, but this one turned out to be an absolute riot. I loved working with the cast of "Angry Young Man" and the amazing Director Stephen Hamilton. I can't wait to see the actual show and which photo they chose for the promotion.
