Opening Bell

Nasdaq Billboard Photography in Times Square

It’s always good to hire a photographer to cover a large scale project like this in the middle of Times Square on the Nasdaq Billboard. I took photography and video through the day for this company who were making an impressive announcement on the Nasdaq Marketsite Jumbotron.

New York Stock Exchange Video for Zeta Global IPO

in , ,

Here is a short video that shows some of the moments during an IPO at the New York Stock Exchange. I’ve been working on my video production and editing skills. The company hired me to shoot stills only, but with a crafty GoPro mount I could capture some of the moments on video. If you ever need a photographer of videographer for your IPO, opening bell or closing bell, please let me know. I’ve photographed about 1000 opening and closing bells over the years and probably a few hundred initial public offerings at the NYSE and at Nasdaq.

NYSE Photographer and Videographer. Video edited using Final Cut Pro and shot with a Gopro Hero 9 mounted on my Sony A1. Audio of the NYSE bell ringing from the GoPro.

All images taken with a Sony A9 and Sony A7iii with 12-24 F4 lens, 24-70 F2.8 lens and 70-200 F2.8 lens.

After photographing over a thousand opening and closing bells at the New York Stock Exchange, its always a pleasure to cover an opening bell ceremony at either market place, NYSE or Nasdaq. They always manage to run a very well oiled machine at Nasdaq in Times Square. The event team and photographer are both calm and efficient and are very welcoming to an additional photographer to photograph the opening bell ceremony

Greentree Hospitality Group IPO at the New York Stock Exchange on March 27, 2018 on Wall Street in New York City. It was great to be back at NYSE on the trading floor to photograph another IPO for my Investor Relations client Christensen IR. Greentree Hospitality group were another amazing Chinese company who went public on the New York Stock Exchange today. I'd love to cover more IPO's for future clients who might want additional photographs than the standard photographer provides and have them delivered immediately.

It's quite an organized and civilized process that Nasdaq handle perfectly.
