Our Event Photography delivers images that get people to STOP and CLICK. Our superpower is our uncanny ability to capture the scene at the height of emotion and action, that split second that Henri Cartier-Bresson refers to as The Decisive Moment. We tell stories with a sense of flair and aesthetics ranging from intense personal moments to fun and thrilling laughter.
We excel at both corporate events and nonprofit galas, capturing the intensity and emotion of prominent speakers, breakout sessions, fun excursions and receptions.
In corporate lifestyle work, we deliver images of real people in real
situations bringing forth the authenticity, feel and the spirit of an organization. Our superpower in corporate lifestyle photography is a solid understanding of brand strategy. Our process begins with knowing an organization’s value proposition, positioning and brand messaging. From there, we deploy our unique process that delivers authentic on-brand photography, consistent with the overall messaging and strategy.
What we deliver to the corporate sector, we deliver to the nonprofit sector as well, at discounted rates. We are deeply committed to nonprofits because they act as a buttress to a flailing social safety net.
