Photographing State Government Events in Tallahassee

Tallahassee is the state capital, which means a steady stream of events where government, business, and the public meet: committee meetings, conferences, press events, ceremonies, and campaign appearances.

Why these events are worth photographing

Photographs give an event a record that outlasts the meeting. They show who was in the room, what the setting looked like, and how the audience responded, and they give organizations material for newsletters, websites, press releases, and annual reports.

Capturing the discussion

Much of government work is conversation: a panel on stage, a speaker at the podium, a back-and-forth between officials. Good coverage shows the speakers clearly and the audience listening, because the exchange between the two is what the event was about.

Campaigns and public appearances

Campaign events and public appearances move quickly and often happen in crowded rooms with uneven light. Steven works quietly around the room, staying out of the way of the program while getting the speakers, the crowd, and the moments in between.

Conferences and formal portraits

State agencies, associations, and officials also need group photos and individual portraits for their own use. Steven photographs both on location, at conferences and at the office.
