Working for and with people who are professional and fun and have become friends, is the best part of freelancing. The Potomac Exchange is a private lunch group consisting of selected executives of global firms. At each lunch a foreign country ambassador is invited to share and discuss issues, initiate business relationships and network.
I am grateful for the trust the Potomac Exchange has granted to me as their Official Photographer. Each luncheon meeting, I am tasked to photograph the activities of the luncheon. In the room, I must be stealth in maneuvering around the table to capture spontaneous and interesting expressions during the discussions, all while food is served and eaten. It takes patience and understanding when to take photos as well as finding creative composition as people eat. It is a challenge to find those special moments between participants, too. In the hour and a half meeting, it all gets done.
Top Suggestions while photographing a lunch:
1. Stay out of the server’s way!
2. Watch the composition, avoid taking a photo when someone in the frame is eating or drinking.
3. Look for angles, trying to find something different than all the other luncheons.
4. Be stealth and as inconspicuous as possible. Vital that the camera is in silent mode.
5. Be patient, look for interesting gestures, facial expression, and eye contact with speaker and participant.
6. In formal set up photos, make sure clothes are in place. Jacket buttoned, tie straight.
