Photo Notes: There are a lot of activities going on simultaneously at the Gala. Luckily, I am able to bring a second shooter. As the primary shooter, I need to make sure all the requirements are done. Everyone wants their photo with the celebrities, there are sponsors, signage, group shots, VIPs and attendees. As like all of the galas I cover, the podium shots, presentations on stage and performances are needed photos. It is my practice to get more than just one shot for each situation. I want to provide the client with as many angles, and compositions for opportunity. That is a delicate operation since presentations on stage are under time restraints. Diplomacy, quick adjustments and a smile help to make things go smoothly.
