Capturing Excellence: Photographing MachineCon 2024 for Analytics India Magazine
As a professional corporate and event photographer in New York City, capturing moments that resonate with a brand's identity is not just a job it's a passion. Recently, I had the privilege of leading the photography team for MachineCon 2024, an event organized by one of my regular clients, Analytics India Magazine. The conference, held at the prestigious 583 Park Avenue, brought together the brightest minds in machine learning and AI for a day of knowledge sharing, networking, and innovation.
The Flow of the Day
Corporate events like MachineCon 2024 typically follow a precise schedule, and this was no exception. Starting at 7 a.m. and concluding with a cocktail hour at 5 p.m., the day was a blend of keynote speeches, panel discussions, and interactive networking sessions.
While my team focused on capturing the décor and initial setups, I set up my equipment methodically, free of distractions. Trust in my team is key; knowing they are capturing critical details allows me to focus on the broader vision. Throughout the day, I checked in with my team regularly to ensure everything was running smoothly, reinforcing a collaborative dynamic.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
With a team of three talented colleagues two dedicated to filming and one as my second photographer I ensured that every angle of the event was covered, from keynote addresses to candid networking moments. Preparation is the cornerstone of success in event photography. My team and I arrived 30-45 minutes before our call time, giving us ample opportunity to set up, scout the venue, and familiarize ourselves with key event personnel.
Building Relationships on the Ground
One of my priorities upon arrival is connecting with the event organizers and venue staff. Introducing myself helps establish a rapport, ensuring that I know who to approach in case of any hiccups. While my team started setting up their gear, I did a walkthrough of the venue to understand the layout, lighting conditions, and flow of activities. This foresight ensures that no detail is overlooked.
The Professional Edge: Backup and Workflow
Event photography demands preparedness. I always carry backups of everything—cameras, lenses, memory cards, and even batteries. A pro photographer stands out by being ready for the unexpected, ensuring the client’s expectations are met, no matter what.
At the end of the event, my team and I carefully packed up and consolidated all the data. I take personal responsibility for organizing and processing the files to guarantee a seamless delivery. Photos are typically delivered to clients within a week, while video timelines are tailored to the client’s needs.
