Event Photography: Loads of Candid Fun

Many people do not realize that beyond the studio portrait work, I also photograph events.  Whether public or private, I have the most fun when large groups of people gather.

Several weeks ago I published a blog on a Native American event I attended and photographed.  While hard to believe, I don't just attend animal-related events, although I specialize in pet portraits.

Most of my event work revolves around good candids and "relaxed" posing situations.  I want to capture people doing what they love to do and having fun, so you won't see stuffy poses or staged photography work in my results.

I was happy to photograph a private event for Penelec recently.  Their Family Safety Awareness Night had so many fun things to do and try.  Employee family members were invited to learn more about how things work as part of the job at a utility company.  The bucket rides were an especially enjoyable feature of the night.

Followed by the dancing mascot! And Mannings ice cream truck!

The Penelec linemen and women are some of the hardest working folks in our region.  We have all experienced lines down and power outages, and these crews are often out there in the worst weather bringing back all things vital.

And, they sure know how to put on a grand event!

Of course it's all fun and games until someone has to be carried home...because they are way too tired to walk!

The most enjoyable part for me, as a photographer, is meeting the people behind the images.  I want to be sure to cover your event in a way that showcases all of the fantastic things you have worked hard on, and all of the people involved!
