EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY














THE PROBLEM:

Event photographers often give more priority to the beauty of each photo than to achieving the client's specific photo needs. If an event room has bad lighting, photographers may be too embarrassed to send those shots to the client because they don't want to look like an amateur.


THE SOLUTION:

As a photographer, I prioritize moments that sell the event, make it look helpful & fun to attend, tell a story or make people look like leaders. I try my best to get shots of each important attendee & speaker in case their face is later needed to tell your event's story.

My strategy of doing this is by building a shot list with clients. A shot list maps out all the pictures which are required or desired by the client. Below you'll find a photography portfolio organized as a sample shot list.
