Niehoff XXXVII
The Mercantile Library asked me to photograph the Niehoff again this year. I got Ronny to do the backdrop portraits again, I shot the event itself, and everything went according to plan.
The featured speaker was Pulitzer Prize-winning author Min Jin Lee. The event was held in the upstairs ballroom at the Hyatt Regency downtown. While searching for angles to photograph her at the podium, I went behind the stage and noticed a break in the curtain. From there, I was able to get closer and snap a few dramatic shots of her speaking to the 700-person crowd.
