NYSE IPO Photographer for Powerschool

Powerschool IPO at the New York Stock Exchange with cocktails and dinner back at the NYSE and a quick trip to see the billboard advertisement in Times Square, near Nasdaq. It seems like I photograph an IPO every month at the moment. It’s nice to be back on the Trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange and photographing initial public offerings. Having worked for so many years at NYSE from 2010 to 2015 I know the space very well.

Triathlon in New York City

It was an amazing morning watching these incredible athletes compete in a triathlon, even though they cancelled the swimming part due to water conditions since the storms last week.

NYSE IPO Photographer for Beachbody on Wall Street

I always enjoy covering the opening bell photography at the New York Stock Exchange. It’s a fin morning to photograph an IPO or newly listed company hoping public. There’s always a few key photos to capture on the bell podium and group photos in front of the facade of the NYSE, but then theres plenty of fun to photos to take too. If you have an IPO coming up at the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, please do not hesitate to book me. Often the photography taken in house is owned exclusively by Nasdaq or NYSE, so bringing your own photographer can give you more freedom of usage.

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.

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.
