Large Group Corporate Photography At Dayton-Phoenix Group

2025 Was The Year I Excelled At Corporate Photography

Photographing A Group Of 250 People – Large Group Corporate Photography

2025 was my busiest year every for corporate photography and commercial photography in Dayton and Cincinnati. A new client, Dayton-Phoenix Group, hired me to photograph a group of 250 employees and retirees, all in on photo. The weather worked out on this day in November 2025 and was cloud and cold.

A few minutes prior to the photo time, employees began streaming out to the main entrance. While this was happening, I had tested my DJI drone to make sure it was good to go. Checking FAA airspace restrictions is always a part of this as I am an FAA certified drone pilot. The maintenance man got me a secure ladder to use to get backup photos with my camera.

Once everyone was in front of the main entrance, I set boundaries for where people could stand. I empowered a few people on the ends to marshall everyone into place. It was then time to raise my voice in a polite way. I repeated directions three times, once to the left, once to center, and once to the right. Letting people know to remove sunglasses, hats, and safety glasses is one thing I always do outside a factory. These are the small details people hire me for. I tried to move a man with an Ohio State University sweatshirt out of the front row, but he refused. All I can do is suggest things.

Everyone was in place and quiet. I directed them to follow the drone and took several shots. Then, I directed them to follow my camera. Less than 10 minutes after everyone made it outside, they were headed back to work. I am not permitted to share their photos, so I included a photo of their headquarters.

Dayton-Phoenix Group

Dayton-Phoenix Group makes parts for large locomotives and heavy equipment. While I didn’t tour the factory, I did talk to their communications person all about it. I love learning about my clients and their employers. I always have something in common, and I am truly interested in what they have to say.
