Corporate Photography Can Be More Than Conferences

When people think of corporate photography, they usually picture large conferences, investor days, and ballroom stages filled with presenters and bright lights. And while I photograph those events often, corporate work can also look a little different — and a lot more relaxed.

A cozy kitchen/conference room for meetings.

Recently, I photographed a corporate meeting at Wakeman Town Farm in Westport. It’s a small community farm with a kitchen and conference space that blends rustic charm with modern functionality. The setting was perfect — fresh air, animals roaming nearby, and a casual environment that still had a sense of purpose and professionalism.

Years of shooting have made me become an invisible man. Capturing everything unobtrusively.

A mixture of really good lenses sparks creativity and captures the moments.

Photographing in a place like this is a reminder that corporate photography isn’t just about documenting business; it’s about capturing connection and collaboration — wherever that happens. A meeting around a farm table can be just as meaningful as a keynote on a big stage.

A beautiful setting for any event.

I use variable sized lenses to capture the feel of the day.

I am not afraid to get into the conversation.

I enjoy storytelling with my camera.

What a transformation!

If your team is planning a retreat, meeting, or offsite, consider how the setting can help tell your story. And of course, I’d be happy to capture it.

Why Professional Photography Matters for Openings Like This

Short Pump, Virginia just got a little more delicious with the opening of Emmy Squared Pizza, and I had the pleasure of documenting their newest location with a full commercial photoshoot.

Interiors before the crowd.

From the moment I arrived, I knew this was more than just a restaurant launch—it was a thoughtfully crafted brand experience. Using a mix of drone photography, still images, and detailed interior shots, I set out to tell the story of Emmy Squared’s arrival in Short Pump from the ground (and air) up.

If you’re opening a new location or rolling out a brand refresh, don’t underestimate the value of capturing the moment professionally. These aren’t just pictures—they’re your brand’s visual handshake with the world.

We highlighted everything from their signature Detroit-style pies and inviting ambiance to the thoughtful design touches that make each Emmy Squared location unique. With drone photography, we captured the surrounding area and the buzz around the opening from above. On the ground, we focused on crisp, high-resolution images that showcase the textures, colors, and style that define their brand.

When launching a new location, your first impression is everything. Strong visual storytelling can make all the difference—especially in today’s digital-first marketing world. As a commercial photographer, my goal is not just to take beautiful photos, but to create images that work hard for your brand—images that stop the scroll, tell your story, and get people excited to visit. Whether it’s for press coverage, social media, or your website, having a professional set of opening images gives you a polished, consistent look that builds credibility and draws people in.

Why Professional Photography is Essential for Modern Businesses

When it comes to corporate events, conferences are among the most dynamic, multifaceted, and rewarding experiences to photograph. This past week, I had the privilege of traveling to Orlando to document a three-day conference, capturing its essence through still photography, video, and drone work. From vibrant keynote speeches to lively evening gatherings, my goal was to tell a story—one that showcased the energy, connection, and scale of the event.

Like everything I photograph, I always want to be telling a story.

The Power of Visual Storytelling at Conferences

Conferences bring people together for learning, networking, and inspiration. As a photographer, my role is to preserve these moments and create visuals that evoke the spirit of the event long after it ends. In Orlando, this meant being everywhere at once: documenting speakers delivering impactful presentations, attendees engaging in workshops, and evening celebrations brimming with camaraderie.

One highlight was using drone photography and time-lapse video to emphasize the scale of the conference. These tools added depth to the story—whether showcasing attendees filling a massive hall or capturing transitions from bustling day activities to illuminated nighttime festivities. The result? A visual narrative that was as dynamic as the event itself.

A moment of calm.

In today’s competitive landscape, the way you present your business matters more than ever. High-quality event photography not only preserves the memories of the day but also serves as a valuable tool for:

Client and Employee Engagement: Celebrate your team’s achievements and build connections by sharing professional, vibrant photos.

Marketing and Promotion: Use compelling images to promote future events, highlight key moments, and engage your audience on social media.

Brand Storytelling: Showcase your company’s personality and values through authentic, behind-the-scenes captures.
