National Event Photography and COVID-19

Our live, in-person events have resumed!

As the nation is vaccinated, planning of in-person events is resuming. WE ARE FULLY IMMUNIZED against the COVID-19 virus. If you are planning an event, and are looking for experiential photo marketing, convention photography, green screen photo booths, or headshot photo booths don’t hesitate to contact us.

We will continue our custom virtual photo booth service. However, our national, in-person live events have started! Our first event was with a core client, the Arizona Office of Tourism, in Phoenix. Our schedule is quickly filling — so please, reach out to plan your next event. In addition to our Virtual Photo Booth, we have a Hashtag Photo Retrieval System to eliminate touchpoints at our events. Check out the video explaining the process.

2021 Travel and Adventure Series
Experiential Green Screen Photography

Travel and Adventure Series Core Client

After half of the 2020 Travel and Adventure Show series was cancelled due to COVID-19, plans are underway for 2021. Those plans will include the infamous US Event Photos experiential green screen photo booth. How the booth will operate will depending on how things progress with the pandemic in the coming months. We will follow local and CDC guidelines to make sure the 2021 season is great. More on our COVID-19 green screen photo booths can be found HERE.

We started our huge Experiential Photo Marketing Green Screen Photo Booth six years ago, with the Travel Channel. Travel Channel hired us to integrate a 10′ x 10′ photo experience into their 20′ x 20′ overall booth, using green screen photography to showcase travel destinations — and Travel Channel programming — world wide. The next year, Travel Channel decided to eliminate their booth, and we thought the travel destinations green screen photo experience would fade away. We were wrong. The Travel and Adventure Series show management, who were impressed by our approach with participants, decided to hire us directly and we took over the entire 20′ x 20′ footprint. Now the green screen photo booth is sponsored by various world wide tourism destinations, and features a different world wide experience every week. In 2021, the show travels to Boston, Chicago, Washington, DC, Dallas, Bay Area (San Francisco), Los Angeles, San Diego, Tampa, Denver and Atlanta. Instead of all the Travel Shows falling in the first quarter of the year, the 2021 proposed schedule will scatter the events throughout the year. Once a schedule is finalized, you can find it here.

Travel and Adventure Series

Yamaha
Bassmasters 2021

2020 will forever be known as the Year of the Pandemic. After Bassmasters, 2020, all of our in-person, live events were cancelled. In 2020, we saw months where staying six feet apart was the new staying together. Face masks became the go-to fashion accessory. Everyone caught up on their favorite television shows, binge watching endless hours. There were no in-person live events. Virtual photo booths replaced our traditional green screen photo experiences. Mike started a new, local podcast.

It was March, 2020 when photographer and US Event Owner Mike Gatty returned from the Bassmaster Classic. He’d just completed his assignment for Yamaha, an experiential photo marketing booth at the world’s largest bass fishing contest in Birmingham. It was the fifth time Mike had provided the green screen photo booth for Yamaha. Complete with a 12′ dock and two replicas of the world record largemouth bass, the photo set lets Mike reproduce the cover of Bassmaster Magazine. Participants, with a little Yamaha branding, are featured front and center with their “record catch”. When Mike’s flight landed, as he was collecting the luggage from the belt, he glanced up at the news. The world was shutting down. It would remain shut.

Now it’s 2021, and the Bassmaster Classic was as busy as ever in Fort Worth, TX . In fact, record crowds swarmed the Yamaha experiential photo booth. Clearly, the world is reopening.

Carpet One In-Person Convention Held in Denver

National Event Photography

For more than 7 years, US Event Photos has been the convention photographers for CCA Global. When the Covid-19 Pandemic hit in Spring of 2020, their Summer Convention was postponed, and postponed again. Carpet One hosts two conventions a year: Winter and Summer, in different cities nationwide. When the in-person convention still couldn’t happen last fall, it was cancelled. Then the Winter, 2021 convention was cancelled. It seemed we’d never return to events.

But in person events were around the corner. And through all the postponements and cancellations, we worked with Carpet One to be ready for their convention photography needs when they were able to safely return to in-person events. Now that vaccinations are happening nationwide, in-person corporate events are being scheduled — though there are still masking requirements, and in some cases, vaccination requirements due to the Delta Variant.

We resumed our convention photography schedule with Carpet One this past July. And to say people were happy for an in-person convention would be a huge understatement.

They. Were. Ecstatic!
