Alibaba IPO at the New York Stock Exchange

September 19, 2020 in Photo, Photo Placement, Event Photographer

I can’t believe this IPO was 6 years ago now. I don’t own any of the photos from my time at the New York Stock Exchange, but lots of them got used in the press and put out into the world as handouts so occasionally I’ll see one being used in the press. This photo of Jack Ma on the trading floor is one of my favorites from the time I spent at NYSE.

It’s nice to get google search results that reminds me of work in the past and that people used to congregate and get close enough for a photo like this. I remembered Kylie Minogue and Naomi Campbell being together, but not Foxy Brown and Tyson Beckford as well. Some days I miss working more than others!

Photography at The Guggenheim

Working in a large museum and having an open assignment is an incredible opportunity, and when you work with such an iconic space you have get some interesting results.

Most images taken with the Sony A7iii with 12-24mm F4 lens and a few with the Sony A9 with the 24-70mm F2.8

Shooting Productions with Remote Cameras

February 14, 2020 in Photo, Event Photographer

Covering a conference as a single photographer is always a pretty large undertaking. It often means you’re expected to be in two places at once. Thankfully I wasn’t the lead photographer on this meeting in Las Vegas, but was working for my favorite production company, Proscenium. They always want sweeping panoramic of their incredible stage design, lighting and production. With a few remote cameras hidden around the venue I can shoot from multiple locations at the same time, and with each camera timed along with my lead camera I can capture the lighting at its best. I shot these stills with a large selection of cameras including a Fujifilm GFX 50R, Sony A7iii, Sony A9, Fujifilm XF70 and a little Ricoh GR. Both point and shoots are set to a time-lapse setting of every 30 seconds. One of the hardest parts is keeping all the cameras charged.
