VIP Red Carpet Events | Washington DC Photographer Roll out that red carpet! Over the years, our team has had the privilege of photographing some incredible events with even more distinguishable key note speakers – Oprah Winfrey, President Obama, and Jay Leno, just to name a few. As photojournalists, there is no greater honor than being asked to document such historic events and iconic celebrities. Photojournalism is more than just taking photos of an event or portraits of people; clients hire us because of our skill and eye for capturing images at just the right moment. Events like these don’t happen every day, especially with such influential and acclaimed speakers, so coordinating angles, expressions, lighting, and timing is absolutely crucial. We know that if you blink, you might just miss that perfect shot. So, our photographers are trained to not blink. We’re kidding, of course. But all kidding aside, here are three ways our team of photographers – or photojournalists, rather – are both qualified and experienced enough to capture striking photos for your next red-carpet event: 1. Personification – Our team of expert event photographers knows just where to stand to capture carefully coordinated images. We strive to photograph the distinctive expressions that embody each celebrity’s personality (i.e. the expressions and body language for which they’re known). For instance, Stevie Wonder’s bold smile and slightly upturned face as he effortlessly tickles the keys on the piano. You’d know that look anywhere. Or President Obama’s deeply thoughtful gaze that pulls you in as he connects with his listeners about an important topic. These aren’t easy ‘click and capture’ moments – they require anticipation and skill. 2. Lighting – When you look at TIME Magazine, their images have a certain look. They’re clear and vibrant. You feel like you’re there in the moment through live-action photos. Even with lighting that is less than ideal – as many venues often are – our team of photojournalists excels in finding light and manipulating it to create those bold, magazine-worthy images. 3. Storytelling – This is one of the most vital pieces of photojournalism. When you ask for event photos, you want images that do just that: convey the event.You probably aren’t looking for posed portraits, and we aren’t leaving after guests walk the red carpet. We’re there to document the entire event as it unfolds: the looks of surprise or concern on the audience’s faces as they engage with the speaker; the handshakes and moments of human connection. Although you can’t hear through images, we want you to feel through them. As you view the images from the event, you’ll be able to follow the lighthearted introduction and recognize the transition into something deeper through the speaker’s outreached hand and somber face. Images have the power to tell the whole story, sometimes in ways that words alone cannot.

Outdoor DC Venues with a View | Some of our Favorites The beauty of event photography – and why it never gets old for us – is that every event is unique. Even after years of photographing in and around the DC area, we still haven’t seen every venue, and the themes are endless. Just when we think we’ve seen it all, someone throws another mind-blowing event that we can’t wait to photograph. That being said, each host goes into their planning with a specific purpose in mind. Maybe you hope to entertain and intrigue your guests with a surprise performance. Maybe you plan to encourage connection building through an elegant banquet. Or maybe you want to host a laid-back evening cocktail party as a sign of appreciation. Whatever your purpose behind the event, if your vision involves a spectacular view, this post is for you! Here are three of our favorite venues with incredible views of DC’s most iconic buildings and attractions: 101 Constitution Roof Terrace | 101 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20001Not many venues can top this – no pun intended. This gorgeous rooftop terrace is the perfect place for your next event. The elegant outdoor space is large enough for both seated dinners and standing gatherings and has one of the best views of the Capital, which stands front and center! You should see it in the evening when the Capital stands illuminated against the night sky. Truly a spectacular experience! Potomac View Terrace | 2215 Constitution Ave NW, Washington, DC 20037This hidden gem gives you the most bang for your buck as far as views are concerned. Located on the 6thfloor of the American Pharmacists Association building, this shaded terrace boasts “unparalleled views of the U.S. Capitol, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Pentagon, Air Force Memorial, Memorial Bridge and the Potomac River!” (Potomac View Terrace) SEVEN iconic pieces of DC all in one incredible view! Nationals Park | 1500 S Capitol St SE, Washington, DC 20003If you’re a lover of all things baseball, there’s no greater view for you than at the ballpark. Believe it or not, Nationals Park offers TEN unique spaces to host your event depending on the overall style, theme, and size of your event. Host anything from a fun batting practice event on the field to a large charity event in Right Field Plaza. You can even secure the entire ballpark! As photographers, we have to admit, the lighting is pretty great at this one!

DC Corporate Events on the Potomac River DC has got it going on right now! And just in time for cooler weather and the holidays. With the recent developments of the District Wharf and Navy Yard (now referred to as The Yards), plus ongoing improvements to Old Town Alexandria, Georgetown and National Harbor, the Potomac River is a thriving hot spot for DC corporate events. Whether you love to relax in modern luxury or you’re just searching for your next adventure, who doesn’t love to be on the water?! No matter how you do it, the calm waters and mesmerizing sunsets provide instant relaxation after a long day of meetings! If you are planning to hold your next event on the Potomac River but aren’t sure which venue to go with – or even where to start looking – we would love to suggest a few of our favorite venues. As event photographers, we appreciate many of the venues in the area for their distinct styles and unique offerings. We can help you match your event vision to a venue by recommending a few to get you going in the right direction. Why Stay on Land When You Can Cruise? But, if you still can’t seem to settle on a venue…then don’t! One of our favorite even venues doesn’t even reside on land. The Odyssey Washington offers guests an unforgettable experience cruising the peaceful waters of the Potomac in luxury. Relax and sightsee from the breezy deck or enjoy an exquisite dining experience in the cabin. Full windows surround the space, so you won’t miss a moment of the gorgeous sunset. You’ll also get full views of the waterfront and iconic national monuments. The post Get Cruising! DC Corporate Event Photography aboard Odyssey Washington appeared first on Event Photojournalism. via Blog – Event Photojournalism https://eventphotojournalism.com/get-cruising-dc-corporate-event-photography-aboard-odyssey-washington/ We live in the age of information. Resources for everything we need to know – and lots of things we don’t – are right at our fingertips. Need to fact-check in the middle of a conversation? You can find your answer as fast as you can type. Not only that, so much communication is done electronically, and more positions to work remotely from the comfort of your home open each day. Everything can be done from our computers. Or can it? Even in the digital age, companies still focus on in-person team building and corporate conferences to grow sales. Here’s why!
Our brains are so efficient when it comes to filtering information. We get what we need to know in the moment and then dispose of it to make room for more information. In order to really hold onto something, we have to create an experience. When we attach real people, real conversations, and real actions to an interaction, we form an experience that sticks well beyond a typical Google search or webinar.
People talk and interact differently in person. Working side-by-side promotes better cohesiveness among team members so that they can work together more efficiently.
We’ve all done it. You send a text or email that gets taken out of context, or someone thinks your angry when really you were just in a hurry and didn’t want to keep them waiting. When people meet together, they’re given a chance to bounce ideas back and forth fluidly. Plus, body language and tone make all the difference. As photojournalists, we’re always looking for those moments when ideas click and people connect.
Mentorship should be personal: an opportunity to go deep and be vulnerable in order to grow. That’s hard to do through a computer screen.
The big product reveal is even more exciting surrounded by like-minded employees. Having the CEO of your company demonstrate the new features and then getting the opportunity to experience them for yourself is just so much better than watching it in a video on your smartphone. In-person team building provides the enthusiasm your brand needs.
