Live Delivery

Your keynote, on your feed, before the applause ends

Most photographers deliver in days. I deliver in minutes. With Live Delivery, edited, full-resolution photos flow straight from my camera to your team while the event is still happening: the keynote hits your LinkedIn while the speaker is still on stage, the award moment posts before the winner sits back down.

Here's how it works: as I shoot, every frame transmits wirelessly to an editor who processes and distributes in near-real time. You are not getting rushed phone snaps; you are getting finished, edited photography at social-media speed. It is an uncommon service, and the teams who add it once ask for it by name the next time.

We hired Chris for our San Diego conference. He absolutely blew us away with his talent and professionalism. He was such a great fit for our team and members, we've brought him in to do our regional conferences across the country.

Alana Davis

NAIC

Chris has been a staple of our client and sponsor events since 2011. He's not just a great photographer, he's a great person. His creative discretion continues to impress me years later. He takes initiative and always goes above and beyond our expectations.

Dan Parr

Constellation Brands

He is the only photographer we're interested in working with. No matter how crazy the idea or event, he has always executed his role flawlessly. His attention to detail is unlike anything I've ever seen.

About

22 Years of Event Photography

I'm Chris Terry, and for 22 years I've photographed conferences, galas, and corporate events for brands of every size. I know what you actually need out of the day: the speaker at the moment the room leans in, the handshake that means something, the unguarded laugh between sessions that a posed shot never catches.

I came up shooting live music, six years photographing artists like Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and Flo Rida, where the light is terrible, the moment happens once, and nobody gets a second take. That is the whole skill set, moved indoors. I read a room fast and I'm in position before the thing happens, not after. I've also been flying camera drones since 2011, back when bringing one to a corporate event was a very strange conversation, so aerial coverage comes FAA-certified and built in.

Most of my work is here in San Diego, but I travel for multi-day conferences and brand activations when the dates line up. On site I keep a light footprint: no rearranging your run-of-show around my camera, no flash in anyone's face mid-conversation. The events run the full range, from 40-person board dinners to keynotes with two thousand people in the seats, and my approach holds either way. If your team needs a few frames for social or the press room before the night is over, I can cut a select set on the spot.

More than 600 events later, 98% of my clients book me again. Your gallery arrives within 48 hours, edited and ready to use.
