Las Vegas Conference Photographer

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.

Conference in Las Vegas

in ,

It's always a pleasure to travel for work especially with such an amazing team as the crew at Proscenium. Here are just a few of the thousands of photos I delivered in Las Vegas, Nevada to the client. I love photographing conferences with incredible speakers and some great stage design and lighting. I also love hidden remote cameras around the main stage to get some additional angles while I shoot.

Most photos take with a Canon 5D Mark IV and a Sony A9. I sometimes have a little Ricoh GR setup on the side for the diagonal shot of the stage. It has a little intervalometer built in so it can just tick along taking a photo every 10 seconds.

Malcolm Gladwell speaks at the Essex House

I am a huge fan of Malcolm Gladwell, I've listened to most of his podcasts and read a few books. He's just an incredible journalist and really delves into the topic and looks at the world from a different angle. I loved photographing him speaking the Essex House today. I would love to be the photographer at any conference that he speaks at. Checkout his podcast Revisionist History.

Conference at the Palace Hotel in New York City

It's always a pleasure to be the photographer at a conference in The Palace Hotel in New York City on Madison Ave. The Hotel does such a nice job with the setup and audio and lighting. It's really an easy place to photograph.

Images shot with a Canon 5D Mark IV, the new Canon 16-35mm F2.8 iii and Sony A9 with the incredible Sony 70-200mm F2.8 Lens.

Accenture Tech Summit Remote Camera Setup

Accenture Tech Summit Remote Camera Setup. I always love using a fixed remote camera at conferences, it gives you a clean plate of the stage and all of the graphics that are designed for the summit. It's a good photographers trick to cover the stage and give yourself a fixed angle that is clean and always the same.

A remote camera at the back of the room is always a good idea especially when they have such an amazing set design and huge LED backdrop. I setup my Canon 5D Mark IV with a Poicket Wizard and just let it tick along as I'm shooting from my roaming camera (Sony A9)

Remote Camera Setup at Conferences and Events

I photograph a lot of amazing conferences and meetings for so many different brands across the country and always try to setup a remote camera or additional wireless camera to act as another photographer from a fixed angel. The remote camera setup allows me to move around more for different and often more creative angels, while I can still guarantee that we have straight images of the stage and speaker setup. I'm often hired by the people who designed and created the stage so I have to document their work as well as photograph the meeting or conference in progress. Often hiding a remote camera can help create an image that wouldn't be possible from a standard photographers perspective, and I like to mount cameras on monopods to reach different angles.
