NACWA Winter Conference 2019 Hyatt Regency Albuquerque Photography

Getting an award at NACWA 2019 Winter Conference at the Hyatt Regency Albuquerque

Photos before the ceremony, great idea!

If that background above looks familiar, it’s because I just photographed another conference in the Hyatt Regency Albuquerque three months ago. This time it was the NACWA Winter Conference 2019. The conference was focused on clean and safe drinking water. I was hired to photograph the awards ceremony and a few other tangential events like 1-on-1 networking, and a reception after the awards, I liked how the organizers had me photograph the award recipients before the actual ceremony, so we could take our time and get the best shots possible, not trying to keep everyone together and looking at the camera in the split second on stage after receiving the award. You can see the lighting setup this allowed me to use below.

Thank you to Ebony and the rest of the NACWA team for a very fun afternoon and evening of conference photography at the Hyatt Regency Albuquerque and its beautiful Whyte Room!
