National Event Photography, Greenscreen Photo Booths, Headshot Photography & Convention Photography Post Covid

As spring approaches, it’s time to plan your experiential events.  Are you  looking for experiential photo marketing, convention photography, green screen photo booths, or headshot photo booths ?  National event photographers Matthew Frey and Mike Gatty work with you hand-in-glove, and will help your team plan the perfect photo execution.

Our live event schedule is filling fast, but one lesson COVID taught us: plans change.  As a result, we still have our easy cancellation policies in place.

Now is the perfect time to take new headshots for your entire team.  Whether you want us to come to one office, or locations across the country, Matthew and Mike personally handle each in-office headshot photo session. 

“Mike, I don’t know if it’s possible, but…”

That was CEO of Elliott Equipment Jim Glazer, asking if a particular photo image would make a good green screen experiential photo marketing final image.  The answer?  The answer was a resounding, “yes!”  Jim dove head first into planning the concepts for the green screen photo booth at CONEXPO 2023 — a massive construction conference that happens every three years in Las Vegas.  We’d get emails from Jim every so often asking about a specific idea.  Often, those emails would make us stop and laugh out loud.

That’s when we knew it would be a great partnership.

His ideas were fantastic, and we used them to create artwork for his booth that was the hit of CONEXPO.  From the famous Welcome to Las Vegas sign, to the infamous “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” photo from the construction of the RCA Building in NYC, Jim was able to communicate his vision to us, and we created an experience that brought his dreams to life for hundreds of participants at the mammoth convention.

In all, we put together a range of backgrounds, from the futuristic to the historical.  The final backgrounds included, as mentioned, “Lunch on a Skyscraper” and  the Las Vegas Sign.  In addition, there was the Las Vegas skyline, the building of the MGM Sphere, the International Space Station, the building of a skyscraper, the “old Vegas” (Freemont Street) skyline, the building of the Hoover Dam, the building of the Golden Gate Bridge, heaven with an angel, the Elvis sign at Resorts International, and CONEXPO’s equipment filled parking lot.  By the way, the cranes featured in the parking lot shot?  They were owned by a client of Elliott Equipment.

Large events often call for big ideas to get your brand noticed.  Big ideas don’t need to be complicated: they can be as simple as tying history to your product and showcasing your lifestyle in a fun and creative way.  Building on your ideas, executing your vision, is what makes our job the best in the world.

Shell Energy wanted something special for three of the Houston Dynamo home games.  A premier partner of the football club, the energy company hoped to make a splash with fans.  They reached out to us, looking for soccer photos that would break through and draw fans into a unique photo experience.

When we suggested the “Diving Save” photos, Shell jumped at the idea and asked us to set up the photo booth up at three games at PNC Stadium.  We also thought fans needed a background choice where they could pose with groups of friends and family, and the energy company was excited to provide a background with soccer legend Sebastian Ferreira.

To say the experiential marketing photo experience was a hit would be an understatement.  Fans lined up to both save the GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL, and to “pose with” the soccer legend.  Some balanced soccer balls on their heads while they hammed it up, others heroically leaped to prevent the score, while still others showed their energy by piling in front of the 10′ green screen decked out in the latest Dynamo gear.
