“Nico is fantastic! Captured our corporate event seamlessly—never intrusive, yet present throughout. Delivered an excellent balance of candid and posed shots that reflected the energy of the event. Worked independently with little direction, and the photos turned out incredible. Will definitely be booking again soon!”
Chevelle Taylor | Field Marketing Manager
Every Corporate Event Has Two Stories
The one on the agenda. And the one unfolding between keynote sessions, conversations, introductions, and the moments that give an event its character.
My approach to corporate event photography is observational, with a polished editorial finish. I look for dynamic photographs throughout the event, balancing the images clients expect, including speakers and audience engagement, with the candid conversations, connections, details, and atmosphere they might otherwise miss.
When direction is needed for speakers, award recipients, executives, or groups, it’s efficient and purposeful before returning to the flow of the event.
The result is a gallery that captures both what happened and what it felt like to be there.

From Executive Dinners to Multi-Day Conferences
For nearly a decade, I’ve worked exclusively in corporate event photography. Working with large agencies on Fortune 500 programs taught me the pace and logistics of high-stakes events. Along the way, I built Nico Hend Photography, and today I work directly with clients on executive dinners, receptions and summits. Recent projects include Three Sticks Wines × Ken Fulk at The Huntington Hotel and Strut’s 10-year anniversary at The Jay.
I've always been drawn to corporate events because we're both there to do a job. I like having a purpose, and I love taking photographs. You're bringing people together to exchange ideas, build relationships, celebrate achievements or move something forward. I'm there to photograph how that plays out. I’m a natural observer, so hanging back and watching comes easily. When a speaker says something that makes two people turn to look at each other, that's a frame I want in the gallery.
Whether your event brings together twenty guests or fills a conference hall, I photograph the people and the room as the event unfolds. My work spans venues including Moscone Center, SFMOMA, Pier 27 and the Julia Morgan Ballroom.
I photograph events personally and work with trusted associate photographers when I’m already booked or as a team when your plans call for simultaneous sessions, multiple locations, or broader coverage. I coordinate the coverage and remain your point of contact throughout.
