NYSE Photography - Venu IPO

Shooting the Venu IPO at the NYSE was an exciting return to familiar ground for me, having worked there every day as the house photographer for years. Armed with my Canon R3, I captured everything from the buzz on the trading floorto the big moment at the bell-ringing ceremony. The fast autofocus and high-speed shooting of the R3 made it easy to keep up with the action, whether it was executives celebrating, traders reacting, or the company’s logo lighting up the iconic NYSE screens. I switched between a wide-angle lens for the sweeping energy of the floor and a telephoto lens to get tight shots of leadership. The NYSE lighting can be tricky, but knowing the space so well, I adjusted my ISO, shutter speed, and aperture on the fly to keep everything crisp. Later, I fine-tuned the shots in Lightroom and Photoshop, making sure Venu had stunning images for their press releases, social media, and investor relations. See more photos here and here

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.

New York Stock Exchange Photographer for Onesmart IPO

It was really great to be back working as a photographer at NYSE for a few days. If the opportunity arose I would be happy to photograph more IPO's on the iconic trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange or the amazing tech studio of Nasdaq. They both provide some really amazing photo opportunities for newly listed companies and being the photographer for a business on such an important milestone is always a pleasure. Since working as the full time photographer at the New York Stock Exchange I've covered many large meetings and events across the globe, but it was still nice to land a few photography jobs close to home in such a familiar setting. If you have an opening bell or closing bell that you'd like photographed and want to have worldwide usage for your pictures, then hiring an outside photographer is your best option. You can see the full gallery for this event here.

Greentree Hospitality Group IPO at the New York Stock Exchange

Greentree Hospitality Group IPO at the New York Stock Exchange on March 27, 2018 on Wall Street in New York City. It was great to be back at NYSE on the trading floor to photograph another IPO for my Investor Relations client Christensen IR. Greentree Hospitality group were another amazing Chinese company who went public on the New York Stock Exchange today. I'd love to cover more IPO's for future clients who might want additional photographs than the standard photographer provides and have them delivered immediately.

NYSE Photographer for Sunlands IPO

Today I was the photographer for the Sunlands IPO at the New York Stock Exchange. It has been a few years since I was back on the trading floor, and it was good to photograph another IPO on the iconic NYSE floor. I spent nearly 5 years working as the in house photographer at the NYSE and it was a great place to meet a lot of the amazing clients I work with now. It was really great to be back though and would love to cover more IPO's for future clients who go public. I've also photographed a few IPO's at Nasdaq in Times Square.
