Event Photography Coverage
Below are a few types of shots you can expect, standard with my event photography coverage. I also created a video on the different shot types I use at an event.
Establishing Shots: Conveying Scale and Venue Prestige
To effectively market future events, it is essential to capture the full scope of your current success. Establishing shots document the sweeping scale of your convention floor, the engagement of a full audience, and the architectural impact of your Los Angeles venue. These comprehensive images serve as foundational assets for your website, annual reports, and promotional materials, visually communicating the magnitude of your event to prospective attendees and sponsors.
I capture photographs from several different perspectives to provide comprehensive visual context. Example shots include:
A captivating shot of a performer or speaker on stage from the audience's perspective.
Wide shots from each corner of your banquet hall, convention center, or other event spaces.
An impactful exterior shot of your venue.
A broad view of the convention center floor from an elevated position.
Candid Interactions: Highlighting Authentic Engagement
By capturing genuine, dynamic interactions between attendees, I provide visual documentation of the high-level networking facilitated by your event. These energetic images are highly effective for post-event recaps and social media, showcasing the collaborative environment and vibrant professional community your organization cultivates.
Group Portraits: Enhancing Organic Reach and Attendee Experience
When attendees receive high-quality photographs with their colleagues and industry peers, they are highly likely to share them across social media and professional networks like LinkedIn. I proactively engage with groups throughout the event to capture these moments. This ensures comprehensive documentation of your VIPs and attendees while organically expanding your brand's reach through your guests' shared experiences.
Detail Shots: Showcasing Brand Investment and Sponsor ROI
Substantial planning goes into the branding, signage, catering, and product displays that define your event's atmosphere. I meticulously capture these granular details to showcase your aesthetic execution and to provide tangible visual proof of ROI for your sponsors and vendors. If your event centers around a specific product launch or showcase, that product becomes the focal point, ensuring you have a robust library of polished images for future marketing campaigns.
Close-Up Candids: Capturing Emotional Resonance
These compelling, tightly focused images isolate the defining moments of your event, such as the conviction of a keynote speaker or the authentic reaction of an engaged attendee. By minimizing background distractions, I capture the human element of your corporate gathering. These impactful photographs resonate strongly with viewers, allowing your wider audience to connect deeply with your brand's overarching narrative.

FAQs
What is event photography?
Event photography can be a wide category of professional photography. We often think of wedding and mitzvah photographers as their own genre of photography, so typically when referring to event photography we are talking about everything else such as birthday parties, corporate events, conferences, red carpets, award ceremonies, marketing events etc.
Should I bother hiring a professional event photographer?
The short answer to why you should hire a professional is consistency. Any amateur can get lucky and get one great shot or have the skill to make an excellent image here or there, but a top event photographer in Los Angeles is able to provide you with consistent, high quality results. I strongly recommend reading my article on how to hire a professional photographer for more information.
Does a photographer’s skill matter?
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Should I hire a photographer that specializes in event photography?
Absolutely, yes. Although a wedding photographer is essentially photographing wedding events, they may not be familiar with the the specific formats of corporate or other types of events. Each type of event has its own format that an experienced event photographer will be familiar with. Additionally, the intended use of the images vary. Experienced event photographers understand how their images will be used and shoot accordingly.
What sort of events do you cover?
I cover all sorts of events in Los Angeles and beyond, both private and corporate.
What do you focus on as an event photographer?
It goes without saying that details matter at an event. A lot of hard work is put into producing an event of any size and part of a photographers job is to capture that. But overall, a photographer’s priority should be on capturing defining moments of an event that both tell a story and evoke a feeling. Every image I make is about something, whether that be an emotion, reaction, or an interaction, there is always a meaning behind the photograph. I believe that images like these are what offer a window into what it was like to be there. These are also the images most effective in social media.
What is your photographic style?
I do not believe in developing an arbitrary aesthetic style. Rather, I focus on capturing authentic emotion filled moments and interactions. When hiring a professional photographer, you are selecting someone to make images that accurately represent your event and/or brand. Therefore, my images are not overly stylized in post as they will have less latitude should you decide to have them further edited to match your own visual style. Rather than providing overly stylized images, I focus on making images that effectively tell your story or document your event. This will give you more freedom in how you use and stylize (if necessary) the delivered images.
Who will be photographing my event?
When you hire me, you’re hiring me. I personally photograph every event I am hired for.

Basic retouching is worked into my standard rates. This includes adjustments to exposure, contrast, color, and sharpening. It does not include advanced skin retouching.

Visuals are processed 60,000 times faster than text. Social media posts that include an image is 10 times more likely to receive engagement. While shooting corporate or brand events in Los Angeles, how they will be used in social media are always considered by me.
