Professional Corporate Event Photographer | The Peninsula Manila

Professional Corporate Event Photographer | The Peninsula Manila

As a professional corporate event photographer, I photograph many vibrant business gatherings, like this one hosted at The Peninsula Manila on Makati Avenue. Picture this: a Round Table discussion (yep, despite the name, the table was indeed rectangular!) organized by the brilliant minds at Twimbit company.

As a seasoned business event photographer, I’ve had the privilege of documenting many conferences. Each gathering has its own story to tell. Let’s dive into this article, where business meets creativity, and every moment is a snapshot of success!

Corporate event photographer for your Round Table discussions

I am happy to report that Twimbit has asked me for the second time to document the Roundtable discussion they have organized at The Peninsula Manila in the room that honors the name of Sionil Jose. Building a trusted business relationship is my top priority; after all, as an event photographer, that’s all I have. You may recognize some of the people here who are CEOs in some of the banks that operate locally in the Philippines.

Since this was the second event I had photographed for Twimbit, they didn’t need to spend time introducing themselves and describing what they needed. Trust is a very powerful thing, see below:

Hey Christian are you available on the 16th of April?
:Hi Peter. Please let me check.
Yes, I have [it] free, Tuesday, 16th of April,
ok please block the date for me. will send you a brief soon.
Sure. Thank you. 🙏

After this step, sending a quote to them was simple. This was followed by immediate full payment without any time wasted on either side. There is a term for this, isn’t there? Here’s my fancy word: Proficiency. HR managers love this one.

Knowing what The Peninsula Manila looks like, the group shot had to be taken using their “peninsula” interior balcony, which is indeed an exquisite place for a group shot. Although I shot in countless other venues, this has a special touch with its architecture. They serve very good coffee, too, and that’s a checked fact while I was enjoying a sugarless double espresso. Perfect time to let the architecture sink in and brighten my eyes.

Organizing a Roundtable discussion is a demanding task that requires considerable attention to detail. This is another reason to provide photographs that show the organizing company’s efforts and talent, as well as for marketing. As an event photographer, my eyes are trained to look for details to showcase the business hospitality from all angles.

As captivating as the topics discussed were, my focus was on documenting the attendees and providing the best portraits, considering the type of the event. The lady below represented AWS(Amazon Web Services). I know, I know, Woman’s Month has passed already. This is just a random portrait I took during this business event while the participants held their speeches.

Serving the business industry with imagery for corporate events or studio headshots at companies’ headquarters is both a passion and an art. This article aims to promote my photography services, but since it mentions “the table” many times, you deserve to see what the actual table looks like, don’t you think?

Corporate event at Sheraton Hotel | Photographer in Manila

Corporate event at Sheraton Hotel | Photographer in Manila

As a professional corporate event photographer based in Bonifacio Global City, I have the opportunity to photograph exquisite places like the Sheraton Manila Hotel near the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. I know most of you have driven past this hotel in a hurry, and while it doesn’t look like much on the outside, things change pretty dramatically once you are inside.

Documenting corporate events through photography is writing history using images rather than words. There is no better medium to store and share your company’s milestones and achievements celebrations. After all, you spend a lot of energy and thousands of hard-earned money to organize an event; you might as well add to that the cost of a professional photographer to ensure all your efforts are appropriately documented.

As always, replying promptly is one of my goals to serve all my potential clients, and I take pride in answering in some cases, even within minutes. The exception is when I shoot for other corporate clients, like this studio shoot for BDO-CMC. In this case, a few questions emerged to estimate my time and cost to travel to the client’s desired location. Most corporate seminars and round table discussions I photograph take place in Makati; this time, it was an excellent chance to see another location.

Of course, one of the last emails included the last information I needed to know before the event itself. Of course, because we all know what traffic is in NCR, I always plan to arrive at the location at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before. This gives me peace of mind and time to scout the venue and find the vantage points, ensuring better photographs.
