Live Events

Live events are one of my favorite things to photograph because you never really know what the best moment is going to be until it happens.

Over the years I’ve photographed everything from conferences, conventions and red carpets to runway shows, presentations, parties and special events. Some moments are planned, some happen completely by accident, and a big part of the job is being ready for both.

I’m always looking for the things that make an event feel alive: the people, the reactions, the atmosphere, the big moments, and all of the smaller things happening around the edges.

The goal is pretty simple. I want someone looking through the photos afterward to get a real sense of what it felt like to actually be there.

Here are a few favorites from some of the events I’ve had the chance to photograph.
