EVENT INDUSTRY
Event photography is an art form all its own. You need someone who understands how to capture the action while it s happening without creating overly-staged shots, how to shoot under low lighting conditions for parties and night events, and how to take compelling action shots. Here are the Decibel Management picks for best-in-show photographers for 2015.
Shot by Rob
Speaking of low lighting, Rob is a roamer of the after-hours streets, a nightlife photographer with a real gift for capturing hot late-night club moments in which nobody looks tremendously drunk. Rob shoots around 500 events a year that s slightly less than two a day.
Dave Bird
With a portfolio that tends towards lovely conference and speaker shots showing the special of corporate events, London-based Dave Bird s event photography is top-of-the-line. About himself, he says: I love bright and exciting stories of people doing cool stuff, whether that s in their day job or what they do at the weekend. Natural interactions are really important to me, and I m always after that special moment my approach and process lets me light and then direct what s happening so that it works best for the camera, but still never feels posed or rigid.
Rukes
No post about event photography would be complete without a mention of Rukes, who specializes in electronic music and festivals. Snapping some of the hottest DJs and large-scale music events in the last few years, Rukes has been catapulted to the top his game with his amazingly colorful and dynamic imagery that showcases crowd excitement and scale like few others can.
Alan Klein
Alan Klein s photography is a mature but not at all boring, serious but not at all staid, and careful but not without a splash of fun. Based in New York, Alan s lens perfect captures political events, gallery openings, corporate functions, and visions of audience engagement.
