Event photography has brought me welcome challenges while exposing me to diverse people and interesting venues.
Photographing events are ultimately a form of photojournalism. Companies hire me to tell a story based on a formal or social occasion. When I arrive on location I immediately look for interesting angles and try to find unique ways to light the environment and subjects. A personalized approach at each venue helps make the final product visually engaging as opposed to standard event photography which is usually groups of guests, smiling and wearing nametags.
Over the years I have photographed at historic 19th Century venues as well as state-of-the-art sustainable facilities. With each assignment I use photography to tell the complete story and to capture the hidden highlights of the event- from expressions on the faces of honorees and catering details to candid shots of guests which demonstrate the success of the evening. I’ve been fortunate to develop repeat customers and have had the opportunity to return to annual events several times. I consider the repeat business an indicator that my unique approach to transform standard event photography into a photojournalism essay is appealing to clients from a variety of backgrounds.
Recent corporate clients include Penn Medicine, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Preservation Alliance, Livengrin Foundation and InStyle Magazine. A small selection of my images can be seen below.
