This company's corporate events were the bookends to my pandemic lockdown experience. In late 2019 I photographed their holiday party at 1959 Kitchen & Bar inside The Second City. It was the last big gig I did before the world went into lockdown. Then in the summer of 2021 I photographed their annual Air & Water Show party at Offshore Rooftop & Bar at Navy Pier. It was my first time working with a large group of people after the world opened back up again.
Approach
For the holiday event I took a team photo in front of the venue, candids of the event and portraits of all the guests. For the air and water show party I took a team photo showcasing the venue, group shots of the guests and some food photos.
