As an Austin corporate event photographer, SXSW is always an exhilarating experience filled with innovation, creativity, and memorable encounters. I always find a few new music artists to add to my list of favorites. Among the multitude of activations, lounges, exhibits, and artists there this year, several stood out as true highlights. Here are my top picks, favorite finds, and best moments from SXSW 2024.
Did you know that in my past life I worked in the film industry? Experience the journey of my return to film sets! This past fall, I helped out on the short film IAMERICA, a story written and developed by a good friend about identity and friendship. Join me behind the scenes with my images as the on-set film production still photographer.
California winemaking is a fiercely competitive market, and while wineries in the Sierra Foothills aren't exactly trying to compete with Napa and Sonoma by any means, they also understand the importance of establishing a distinctive brand identity to thrive in the tourism market. This identity is going to reflect my backyard: the region's unique characteristics, values, and personality, which are infinitely more relaxed than the hustle and bustle of California's larger cities. Crafting a compelling brand identity is essential for fostering consumer trust, loyalty, and recognition. I was recently hired as a Sierra Foothills winery photographer to help position the wineries of El Dorado County as a sought-after destination.
SXSW, otherwise known as my absolute favorite 10 days of the year, every year, is an annual convergence of technology, film, and music in Austin, Texas. It's 10 days of thriving on adrenaline and chaos. It's a beacon of creativity and innovation. Drawing attendees from diverse industries worldwide, it's unparalleled popularity can certainly be attributed to the dynamic blend of cutting-edge technology showcases, an extensive list of film premieres, and my favorite - the off-the-beaten-path version of its music festival which celebrates and heralds unsigned and new artists. As promised, I'm back with part II in my series on how to survive SXSW like a pro with more SXSW survival tips.
75,000 people are about to descend upon Austin, TX for SXSW, one of the world's premier music, film and tech festivals. While SXSW is mostly known for its music festival, what really brings the money to Austin (and $350 million plus of it at that), is the Interactive portion, which draws a young audience of inventors, investors and risk takers looking for networking opportunities and the next big thing. At any given moment all over the city there are thousands of opportunities to learn, network, workshop and cultivate relationships. For over 10 years now, I've been working for the Sales Department at the event, as a SXSW event photographer responsible for documenting the return on investment for their sponsors. It's exhausting. It's exhilarating. It's incredibly fun. If you're attending for the first time and looking for some answers on how to survive SXSW, I got you boo.

If you are a business at the forefront of tech, or at the intersection of tech and finance, it should come as no surprise that the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) stands at the epicenter of innovation as far as conferences go. It is where major electronics companies give keynotes regarding new innovation, where products are launched, and where the latest breakthroughs and futuristic concepts take center stage. Every year in January in Las Vegas, industry leaders, tech enthusiasts, and innovators and startups from around the globe gather to showcase, pitch, and network.
