Last week we had the honor of making a portrait of the attendees of a prestigious oceanic and atmospheric conference at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach.  This was such a fun portrait to arrange because it literally took days of planning; from scouting the best location to arranging with building maintenance for a scissor lift and chairs.

When the conference attendees emerged from their session, they were already thirty minutes behind schedule, and of course there was an event planned immediately following (which just so happened to be a boat tour,) so literally every second counted.

Our team worked seamlessly so that we had this portrait literally in under 3 minutes, from when the attendees emerged from the Aquarium to the making of the photograph.

We include it here because of the praise we received not only the day of the conference from the attendees, but also from the venue staff that recommended us to the conference organizers for the photography.
