New York Stock Exchange Video for Zeta Global IPO

Here is a short video that shows some of the moments during an IPO at the New York Stock Exchange. I’ve been working on my video production and editing skills. The company hired me to shoot stills only, but with a crafty GoPro mount I could capture some of the moments on video. If you ever need a photographer of videographer for your IPO, opening bell or closing bell, please let me know. I’ve photographed about 1000 opening and closing bells over the years and probably a few hundred initial public offerings at the NYSE and at Nasdaq.

NYSE Photographer and Videographer. Video edited using Final Cut Pro and shot with a Gopro Hero 9 mounted on my Sony A1. Audio of the NYSE bell ringing from the GoPro.

Iona Graduation Photographer

It’s hard to say what my favorite thing to shoot is, but I do know this, I love having an assignment that has no preconceived parameters. “Just capture the emotion” is about all of the direction I got from Iona. So the ability to walk around and just shoot for fun, and get the feel of an event is always the best. I didn’t expect to see so many decorated graduation caps, but I loved capturing them in photos.

9/11 Memorial and Museum Photography

Today the 9/11 Memorial marks the 19th anniversary of the end of the rescue and recovery period at Ground Zero. At 9:30 a.m. they held a special commemorative moment on the 9/11 Memorial Glade to honor all the rescue, recovery and relief workers and those who are sick or have died from 9/11-related illnesses.

Bluestone Lane at Battery Park

Bluestone Lane opened a brand new store in Battery Park and I was blown away by the size and design of the space. The food is always on point with that awesome Aussie hospitality and killer flat whites. One of my all time favorite clients to shoot food and interior photographs for.

Shot with a Sony Alpha 1 and Sigma 24-70mm 2.8 Lens.

Times Square Billboard Photography at Nasdaq Closing Bell

It’s always great to photograph the closing bell at both the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq in New York City, Unfortunately so many of those opportunities have become virtual. Thankfully I was hired by a marketing PR firm to document the exterior facade of the Nasdaq as a company rings the closing bell virtually. Its such an awesome thing to be in Times Square photographing an event again. To book me for closing bell photography at either Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange please email me.
