The Perks of Event Photography

A friend, Lucila, just wrote a book and she hired me to capture key images of  her book launch .  Her launch was part of an all-day motivational seminar put on by motivational speakers and best-selling authors Raymond Aaron  and Jack Canfield. The latter sold over 500 million books worldwide. Who has not heard of  "Chicken Soup for the Soul"   co-created by Mr Canfield?  (a collection of inspirational, true stories, about ordinary people's lives.)  It was a great pleasure to meet him.

I was there to photograph Lucila  introducing her book,--- her  exuberant spirit , her joy as she accepted her award -- but at the same time, I was also privileged to  be sitting in on a great presentation by Raymond Aaron  from whom I learned a lot about branding  and  important keys to success in general.
I had photographed Raymond Aaron once before, -and it was great to see him again.

Who knew a book about real-estate could be so funny? 


Event photography is all about capturing the right moment, unobtrusively.  Lucila will enjoy looking back at this moment in time,  when she sold the 1st copy of her book while elaborating on its title--Is it Time to Buy or Sell?
