Photojournalism Project 1 Los Angeles

This was an event photography project of the Vidcon event for the conference organizer Freeman Inc. and was one of the most fun and interesting event photography projects I have ever shot.

It had every element an event photographer could dream of. It was a multi-day event extravaganza with fabulous design, an all-access pass, interesting folks, performers, mesmerizing events, incredible organization, crowds of people, and spontaneous moments tailor-made for a photographer with a photojournalist's eye. 

The images were incredible, and the crew of Freeman Brand Marketing was great to work with. 

The truth is, I don't find most corporate event photography projects so interesting but I shoot them because I am good at it. But this corporate photography project was so interesting and engaging that I would love to shoot this event again because of the sheer volume of beautiful images that I created.

The event had a slick, high-tech carnival feeling and people were authentic and spontaneous. It was like shooting fish in a barrel and I could almost not fail. This is the kind of event that I live for.. 

Photographing events like  Vidcon is like dancing or surfing because I can’t plan and orchestrate these shoots like my large industrial aerospace photography projects. I had to find images on the fly within the confines of the client's needs. I have to go with the flow and sometimes respond immediately to something spontaneous and also anticipate where images will happen. That is what makes some event photography so exciting. 

I grew up in the business as a photojournalist working for major newspapers and news magazines before I became a commercial photographer. There are parts that I miss, like being able to find spontaneous moments of human interaction, which is why I liked shooting this Vidcon corporate event photography project so much.
