Corporate event photography

São Paulo is where most of this work happens: trade fairs and congresses fill the São Paulo Expo, the Distrito Anhembi and the Transamerica Expo Center, and launches run in hotels along Avenida Paulista and Faria Lima. Work starts with the run of show. The photographer reviews the agenda with the organiser and agrees a must-have list — each keynote, the full auditorium from the back, sponsor stands and branding, award handovers with the right executives in frame. Brazilian convention centres and hotels commonly register every outside supplier, so send the venue the photographer’s full name, document number, arrival time and equipment list, and confirm with the agency whether a supplier badge, insurance or a specific load-in gate is required.

An incentive trip adds days away from the ballroom: a welcome cocktail on the beach, a boat trip, a walk at the Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, the awards night and a farewell dinner. Each is quoted by its hours, and national parks, concessionaires and boat operators set camera rules of their own, so share their names early. Attendees who prefer not to be photographed should be able to say so: a coloured lanyard or badge sticker, and a clear line in the registration form about how event photographs will be used, which is also part of how the organiser meets the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (LGPD, Lei 13.709/2018).

For a filmed recap or speaker clips, event videography is the separate service; for leadership portraits made on the same trip, headshot sessions fit between blocks of the programme. A private celebration — a wedding, a festa de 15 anos — is covered by its own service, not this one.
