AGS LA | MARINA DEL REY MARRIOTT | LOS ANGELES EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY

event

AGS Los Angeles took place down in Venice Beach at the Marina Del Rey Marriott during one of this year’s most epic storms in California history. It snowed in the Los Angeles foothills and mountains and all the speakers and attendees got 360 degree views of the city and were able to watch as cascading storms brought rain, hail and beautiful light. The most glorious aspect of the day was being witness to a multitude of rainbows and one that lasted for almost an hour. Good spirits abounded and lots of good networking

AGS MASTERMINDS | ROSE ROOM | VENICE BEACH EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY

event

Did research to get the best breakfast burrito in Venice Beach where the AGS Masterminds Los Angeles event was taking place. $28 later it turns out AGS in the Rose Room had three types of breakfast burritos to choose from. Oy! My luck improved from there though and I ended up getting some great shots telling the story, and having a fun time while I was at it. Capturing all the people, places and things in this event photography. Once everything wrapped up, my man, Koren, the videographer and I hit up the boardwalk for 15 minutes or so to document that interesting scene. Stay to the end for those. Enjoy!

MIRAMONTE HIGH SCHOOL PROM | CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES | SAN FRANCISCO PROM

event

Photographing the Miramonte High School prom was an absolute joy. It was filled with nostalgia from my perspective, witnessing all of the rituals, the awkward moments, the jubilation, the horsing around and of course, some burgeoning romances. My proms and homecomings were typically in our High School gym and these youngsters were balling out at the California Academy of Science museum - incredible. I found them way more mature and cooler than what I remember from my youth and these kids knew how to party and cut a rug. It was a blast. Check it out.

event

Kong are absoute pros on throwing events. So even though Covid placed limits on how they normally function they still made their imprint felt with a unique conference with big production value that their community could take part in from home. They had their usual content of the latest developments in their industry and great fireside chats with many experts with a host of incredible interludes during the two days from acts from individuals like Golden State Warriors home deejay, DJ Sharp, to the San Francisco Mariachi band, a fitness instructor, hip-hop freestyle emcee, a painter and other artists. It was great.

UNITE HERE - TAKE BACK THE SENATE | ATLANTA PHOTOGRAPHER | STARLIGHT DRIVE-IN THEATRE CAMPAIGN RALLY EVENT

event, portrait

Over 1000 Unite Here canvassers and allies convened for a car rally at the Starlight Drive-in inside Atlanta in support of Ossoff and Warnock for the two Georgia U.S. Senate seats. To witness thousands of cars and rally-goers honking and being lively during a pandemic and doing it safely is a powerful image forever imprinted in my mind. Union members provided the entertainment and hyped the crowd prior to the main event, Reverend Warnock bringing the heat on why it matters that he be elected.

I was beyond honored to have had the opportunity to photograph this Unite Here campaign rally in Atlanta to help elect Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock to the 2 U.S. Senate seats in Georgia. Over 500 political canvassers assembled in a show of force of their collective power while musicians, local politicians and speakers, such as Nsé Ufot of the New Georgia Project, helped provide inspiration and focus to why the runoff election mattered. You can definitely feel the strength and beauty of all the rally-goers spirits in this imagery. Enjoy.
