When I shoot an event like this, I strive to capture the energy, the emotion, and the vibe of actually being there. I love snapping photos of people smiley, laughing, and being goofy. I guess all the things I look forward to at an event myself :)

Founding Philly Fall Kickoff

After a full year of producing his podcast, “Founding Philly“, Zach Brand held his inaugural in-person event at the CIC Venture Café hosted at the the University City Science Center. The community focuses on Philadelphia entrepreneurs who built their business in the city, raised venture capital, and made a lasting impact on the commercial landscape in metropolitan Philadelphia.

The event featured a panel style fireside chat, hosted by Zach, along with beverages provided by the venture café, and stimulating conversation and ideas.

Baltimore Mural

Our mural trip to Baltimore went great!

Philadelphia has more murals than any other city in the world. Ironically, my first mural project happened in Baltimore.

Full post coming soon…

Story to come soon…

Thank you!!!

Vancouver International Wine Festival 2018

We had a blast shooting The Vancouver International Wine Festival! As Canada’s premier food & wine event, the organization has three mandates: to provide an informative, educational and entertaining wine experience for public and trade; to be a premier marketing opportunity for the wine industry and festival partners; and to raise funds for the Bard on the Beach Theatre Society.

VanWineFest is Canada’s premier wine show and widely considered to be the best wine event in North America. With ~18,000 admissions and at 44 years of age, it is one of the biggest and oldest wine events in the world. Its slogan is “The Wine World is Here”. It has been voted the “#1 Food, Wine & Hospitality Event in Canada” for eight years running by New York’s BizBash.
