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.

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.

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.
