I treat your conference like a wedding.
Find the real moments, ignore the staged ones. Twenty-five years of documentary work — for editorial clients, for couples, and for companies that figured out the lineup-shot-against-a-step-and-repeat is not what their team is going to put on the wall.
I shoot conferences, galas, product launches, leadership off-sites, all-hands, board dinners, and the awkward 90-minute window between the panel and the cocktail hour where every actually-useful conversation happens. The job is the same as a wedding day — read the room, get into position, capture what's about to happen before it's already happened.
The whole event, not just the main stage.
Conferences
Keynotes, panels, breakouts, hallway track. Speaker portraits during the run-through. The CEO laughing at something their CTO said in the green room — which is the photo your marketing team will use for a year.
Galas & dinners
Cocktail hour, the program, the toast that lands, the toast that doesn't, the moment a donor pulls the founder aside. Shot loose and editorial, not as a yearbook of name-tag lineups.
Launches & off-sites
Product reveals, ribbon cuttings, leadership retreats, multi-day off-sites. I show up early, I stay late, I find the picture that explains what the day was actually about.
One call, full coverage, fast turnaround.
- 01
30-minute briefing
You walk me through the run-of-show, the must-capture moments, the people I need to recognize on sight, and the angles your comms team needs for next week's deck. I bring a printed schedule on event day.
- 02
Coverage by the hour or day
Half-day, full-day, or multi-day. Solo or with a second shooter for multi-track events. I work quietly, no flash on the keynote, fast lenses in the dim breakouts.
