One of my favorite things about being a corporate event photographer in Salt Lake City is getting to learn about businesses and industries I might never encounter otherwise.
I photograph everything from conferences and corporate retreats to networking events and company celebrations. And while I'm there to document the event, I almost always leave having learned something new.
That was definitely the case at BioHive Premieres.
Photographing Utah's Life Sciences Community at BioHive Premieres
BioHive Premieres brings together people working in Utah's life sciences and healthcare industries to share ideas, highlight innovation, and connect with others in the community.
As a Salt Lake City event photographer, I love assignments like this because there's so much happening beyond the presentations themselves.
There are speakers sharing years of work, conversations between people who might end up collaborating, and those moments when someone in the audience realizes they're hearing about something that could change their industry.
My job is to photograph all of it.
For this event, that meant capturing speakers on stage, presentations, audience engagement, and the conversations happening between sessions.
The Presentation That Hit Close to Home
One of the presentations I found most interesting came from Epitel, a Utah company developing technology for extended EEG monitoring.
Epitel's REMI technology is designed to make it possible to monitor brain activity over longer periods outside a traditional hospital setting.
This one was personal for me.
Both my dad and my kids' dad have undergone EEG testing for epilepsy, so I have some firsthand experience with how involved that process can be.
When I heard about the possibility of making extended monitoring more accessible and less disruptive to patients' everyday lives, I immediately thought about the difference that could make for families dealing with epilepsy.
I showed up to photograph a business event and left thinking about the future of neurological care.
That's one of the unexpected perks of this job!
Why Professional Photography Matters at Corporate Events
Events like BioHive Premieres represent an enormous amount of planning and work.
Speakers prepare their presentations. Organizers coordinate the venue, schedule, sponsors, and attendees. Businesses spend time and resources bringing their teams and ideas together.
And then, in just a few hours, the event is over.
Professional event photography gives organizers a way to keep using that investment.
The images can support:
Recap articles and company announcements
LinkedIn posts and other social media content
Speaker and sponsor recognition
Marketing for future conferences and events
Company websites and newsletters
Press releases and media coverage
For conferences, I focus on creating a gallery that tells the story of the event, including the speakers, attendees, branding, and smaller moments that make each gathering unique.
Corporate Event Photography and Headshots in Salt Lake City
Lake City Photos provides professional corporate event photography and on-location headshots for businesses throughout Salt Lake City and northern Utah.
Many organizations also choose to offer professional headshots during conferences, leadership summits, and employee events.
It's a practical benefit for attendees and a convenient way for businesses to update their team's professional images while everyone is already gathered in one place.
I photograph everything from individual executive portraits to large-volume headshot events, with an emphasis on keeping the process organized and efficient.
For event organizers, having one photographer who understands both conference coverage and professional headshots can simplify the planning process.
Supporting Utah Businesses Through Photography
Utah has an incredible community of entrepreneurs, researchers, executives, and business owners building things that deserve attention.
I love getting to photograph their work.
Thank you to BioHive for having me back to photograph BioHive Premieres. I'm always grateful for the opportunity to document events that bring Utah's business community together.
