Nordstrom's Holiday Treasure Hunt

Here’s what chat GPT says

Working as the photographer for Mary Giuliani Catering at the Nordstrom Holiday event was such a fun and festive experience! The event had that perfect holiday vibe—elegant, but with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made everyone feel right at home. Mary Giuliani Catering truly outdid themselves, with stunning displays of delicious food and drink that were almost too beautiful to eat (but of course, everyone did!).

It was a blast capturing the guests enjoying themselves, mingling, and indulging in the incredible bites that Mary and her team had crafted. I loved snapping candid moments of people enjoying the delicious food and the beautiful decor while getting that cozy holiday spirit in every shot. The team’s attention to detail, from the elegant table settings to the perfectly arranged hors d'oeuvres, made my job so much easier.

Beyond the beautiful spread, it was clear that the event was all about creating memorable experiences, and I felt lucky to be there to document those moments. Whether it was the laughter shared over a cocktail or a guest admiring the stunning holiday displays, there was no shortage of genuine, joyful moments to capture.

NYSE Photographer - Vale Opening bell and Investor Day

I’ve been back at the New York Stock Exchange to photograph a few events recently. It’s great working at NYSE and an independent photographer. I’m not sure I could do it every day again, but once in a while it’s great!

Working as the photographer for Vale at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was an incredible experience, capturing high-profile corporate event photography in one of the most dynamic financial environments in the world. From documenting the opening bell ceremony to shooting executive portraits of Vale’s leadership team, every moment required precision in composition, lighting, and timing. Using a mirrorless camera with a fast prime lens, I was able to capture sharp, high-quality images even in the fast-paced atmosphere of the trading floor photography. The event called for a mix of candid shots, posed corporate headshots, and wide-angle images to showcase the energy of the NYSE. Post-processing in Lightroom and Photoshop ensured the final images had perfect sharpness, contrast, and color balance for Vale’s PR, investor relations, and media coverage. This type of commercial and financial industry photography demands a deep understanding of storytelling through imagery, helping to visually represent a global company’s presence in the heart of New York City’s financial district.

NYSE Photography - Venu IPO

Shooting the Venu IPO at the NYSE was an exciting return to familiar ground for me, having worked there every day as the house photographer for years. Armed with my Canon R3, I captured everything from the buzz on the trading floorto the big moment at the bell-ringing ceremony. The fast autofocus and high-speed shooting of the R3 made it easy to keep up with the action, whether it was executives celebrating, traders reacting, or the company’s logo lighting up the iconic NYSE screens. I switched between a wide-angle lens for the sweeping energy of the floor and a telephoto lens to get tight shots of leadership. The NYSE lighting can be tricky, but knowing the space so well, I adjusted my ISO, shutter speed, and aperture on the fly to keep everything crisp. Later, I fine-tuned the shots in Lightroom and Photoshop, making sure Venu had stunning images for their press releases, social media, and investor relations. See more photos here and here
