Why it pays
Photographs make your event work harder

Questions from event teams
How quickly will we receive our photos?
Your complete edited gallery is delivered within about one week. If you need images while your event is still in the news, next-morning highlights deliver 25 edited images by 10 a.m. the next business day, ready for press releases and social media. A 48-hour turnaround for the full gallery is also available.
Can we use the photos for press, social media and marketing?
Yes. Your images come with a license for your organization's internal, marketing, public relations and social media use, with no expiration. Paid advertising, resale or distribution by third parties such as sponsors or partners can be arranged with an extended license; just let us know how you plan to use the images when you request a quote.
Do you provide a certificate of insurance and a W-9?
Yes. A certificate of insurance and a W-9 are available on request, so we can be set up in your vendor system before your event. If your venue requires specific insurance wording, send us their requirements and we will take care of it. For procurement, our vendor packet (PDF) covers our capabilities, business details and recent projects.
How do you price corporate events?
Coverage is $450 per hour with a two-hour minimum, $1,600 for a half day of up to four hours, or $3,000 for a full day of up to eight hours, plus a flat $100 travel fee within the NYC metro area. Every event is quoted individually based on your schedule, and our quote request includes our full rate guide with add-ons.
Can you cover multiple rooms or a multi-day conference?
Yes. For simultaneous sessions, multiple stages or large conferences, we add a second photographer or a coordinated team so every room, speaker and sponsor is covered. Multi-day programs are quoted by the day, with the images from each day delivered together in one organized gallery.
Do you work with agencies and production companies?
Yes. We regularly photograph for experiential and event agencies, working within your run of show and your client's brand guidelines. Recent work with Channel Partners includes Lufthansa's Allegris First Class launch and the Northwell Health welcome tour; see our case studies.
Can you take headshots at our event?
Yes. Headshots can be added to your event coverage for an additional cost, which is a convenient way to update your team's or speakers' photos while everyone is already in one place. Let us know when you request a quote and we will include them.
Do you travel outside New York City?
Yes. Events within the NYC metro area include a flat $100 travel fee. For events further away, travel is quoted based on distance, including transportation and lodging if needed.
Why hire a professional photographer for your next corporate event?
Anyone can take a photo on a phone. Capturing a keynote speaker sharply under stage lighting, catching the handshake the moment it happens and delivering hundreds of polished, on-brand images within a week takes experience. Your event is a significant investment, and a professional makes sure the photographs live up to it.
For more than a decade, we have photographed conferences, client forums, executive dinners and brand activations for financial institutions, global brands and the agencies that produce their events, working discreetly around senior leaders and guests in every kind of room and light.
