Los Angeles Corporate Event and Celebrity Red Carpet Photography
As a seasoned corporate event photographer in Los Angeles, my primary goal has always been to capture pivotal moments that not only narrate a story but also evoke emotions. Each photograph I create is infused with meaning, whether it encapsulates an emotion, reaction, or interaction. Recognizing that clients seek images that authentically represent their brand, tell a compelling story, and are versatile for both internal use and marketing, I prioritize delivering impactful photography. In approaching every corporate event, I envision the end use of the photographs, ensuring that I provide precisely the type of imagery needed within the specified delivery time.
Outlined below are various types of shots included in my event photography coverage, which are standard.
Establishing Shots at Corporate Events:
Establishing shots serve to convey the spatial dimensions and, more importantly, the scale of a corporate event. They also offer an excellent opportunity to showcase premier Los Angeles venues, making them ideal for social media posts and documentation. Examples of shots include:
-
A perspective shot of a performer or speaker on stage from the audience viewpoint.
-
Wide shots from each corner of a banquet hall, convention center, etc.
-
An exterior shot capturing the essence of the venue.
-
An overhead wide shot of the events main room(s)
Detail Shots at Corporate Events:
Detail shots encompass venue details, products, event signage, food, and more. Understanding the significance of these details in social media campaigns, I focus on capturing images that align with the event's purpose. Whether showcasing a product or event intricacies, I provide static shots and images of attendees engaging with the subject.
Close-up Candid Photography at Corporate Events
Close-up candid photographs capture emotional highlights, employing a telephoto lens and shallow depth of field to eliminate distractions. These images draw viewers in, allowing them to connect with the captured moment. While prioritizing VIPs such as guest speakers and CEOs, I strive to document the entire event, ensuring a diverse coverage of attendees.
Candid Interactions of Participants at Corporate Events
Candid interactions provide context to highlighted moments, showcasing the individuals involved. Joyful and energetic, these images convey the excitement of being at the event.
Group Portraits at Corporate Events
As a roaming event photographer, I actively seek opportunities to capture small group conversations, ensuring all VIPs are included. These shots, often shared by guests, contribute to comprehensive event coverage.
Delivery, Editing, and Stylizing of Your Images. Rather than aiming for a specific image count, I prioritize creating meaningful, high-quality images that capture the essence of your corporate event. Our hourly rate includes allimages edited to look amazing in high resolution with FULL usage rights. I also offer images tailored for social media, optimizing display quality. I understand the importance of a quick turnaround and provide options for same-day, night-of, and even live editing and file delivery.
When selecting an event photographer, I recognize the responsibility of creating images that authentically represent your event or brand. I avoid excessive post-processing, opting for a clean, vibrant style that allows flexibility in further editing to match your brand's visual identity. This approach ensures that the delivered images effectively tell your story and document your event. We offer standard 24 hr RUSH delivery with processed images and offer Same Day Processing for an extra charge that requires photos for press same day.

I hate having my picture taken...Help!If I had a dollar for every time I've heard this over the past 20+ years! HAHA! You're not awkward and it's totally normal to feel a little self conscious in front of the camera. But this is your wedding day and these photos will live on forever. Hiring the right photographer is the key to ensuring you feel and look your best in front of the camera. We help you with posing and feeling confident in front of the lens. And if you are really dreading it I recommend a practice session by booking an engagement session ahead of the wedding! We make the experience fun and most of the time you won't even know we are there!
-
Do we get the digital images?Yes, our standard event coverage comes with the digital files included. We will color correct the images before delivery.
-
What is your photographic style?My shooting style is a blend of editorial and documentary, rooted in photojournalism. I focus on capturing real, candid moments—friends and family genuinely enjoying themselves throughout the day. For me, it's all about documenting the natural flow of events while ensuring everyone looks their best. Since not everyone feels completely at ease in front of the camera, I help guide my couples and families with a natural vibe and posing rather than stiff, forced poses, even during the more traditional family formals. When it comes to editing, my approach is bold and vibrant, with rich colors that truly bring each moment to life. I also love to include a few key moments in black and white to add a timeless, classic touch. My style incorporates elements of film simulation, introducing texture and warmth to enhance the natural beauty of your day. The result is a collection of images with a warm, gorgeous tone that captures the day as it unfolded, authentically and beautifully.

Can I make additional editing requests?The images delivered in your gallery undergo light retouching and color/tone editing. The adjustments in tone and color reflect my distinctive artistic preference, and once delivered, they remain unaltered to maintain an accurate representation of my published work. Should you desire additional fine retouching, such as enhancements to hair, skin, background, or other alterations, these requests can be accommodated for an extra fee of $25 per image. However, If you are ordering a photo directly from our website to hang on your wall and would like specific retouching done, just ask and I'll take care of it for you.😎
