Under the architectural grandeur of Guastavino’s soaring tile vaults, the LP4Y (Life Project 4 Youth) Charity Auction Gala brought together NYC’s philanthropic community for a night of transformative impact. In collaboration with Vibe Agencyand Memento.AI, the production centered on a high-speed, tech-forward guest experience. Utilizing the advanced capabilities of the Nikon Z9 and alternating between professional grade 24-70s and 70-200s for a speed-based workflow, the images were transmitted via a real-time FTP workflow directly from the camera to Memento’s proprietary AI platform. This instant upload enabled guests to access professionally lit, high-resolution portraits and candids in real-time, bridging the gap between the event’s live moments and digital engagement. The accompanying gala photography images document a night where world-class hospitality and cutting-edge technology joined forces to support LP4Y’s mission of youth inclusion.
