Capturing the Energy of Columbia Law’s Two-Day Orientation
When it comes to event photography in New York City, few assignments are as dynamic and high-energy as covering a university orientation. Recently, Parish Mandhan Productions had the honor of documenting Columbia Law School’s two-day orientation, a project that demanded early mornings, creative direction, and precision to showcase the excitement of a new academic journey.
Preparing for a High-Profile University Event
Shooting at a prestigious institution like Columbia Law requires more than just technical skill, it demands strategic planning and a cinematic vision.
Early On-Site Setup – Our team arrived ahead of schedule to scout key locations, plan dynamic shots, and align with the event’s timeline.
Precision & Professionalism – Every frame was designed to capture the school’s prestige and the energy of its incoming class.
Visual Storytelling – The goal wasn’t just to take photos, it was to narrate the spirit of the event.
Capturing Movement, Energy, and Emotion
Over two full days of non-stop coverage, Parish and his team worked tirelessly to ensure no moment was missed.
Time-Lapse Sequences – Showcasing the fast-paced environment of orientation week.
Dynamic Movement Shots – Adding cinematic depth to highlight student interactions and key activities.
Candid Moments – Capturing authentic emotions, anticipation, excitement, and celebration, without losing the event’s sophistication.
The Challenge of Non-Stop Coverage
Covering back-to-back, 12+ hour shooting days requires endurance, expertise, and a strong creative workflow. Our team executed with precision, organizing shots in real time, adjusting to spontaneous moments, and ensuring every image reflected the energy of Columbia Law while maintaining a premium visual style.
Results: A Cinematic Photo Gallery That Resonates
The final gallery delivered to Columbia Law was more than just a collection of images, it was a visual story showcasing the school’s culture, prestige, and vibrancy. Each image was curated to align with the institution’s identity while exceeding client expectations.
