Jenna Bascom Photography

What Jenna Bascom Photography does

Jenna Bascom Photography is a boutique photography company headquartered in New York that provides corporate event, editorial, portrait, commercial space, and art installation photography services to enterprise clients and cultural institutions across the United States. The firm is co-run by founder Jenna Bascom — a School of Visual Arts (BFA) graduate with a decade of prior photo editing experience across travel, fashion, and finance publications — and her wife Caryn, supported by a small team of photographers and editors. Its publicly visible client roster spans Nike, Samsung, Charles Schwab, Amazon Web Services, Adidas, Sony, Wired, Billboard, the Washington Post, the Tribeca Film Festival, and the Museum of Arts and Design, alongside non-profit and cultural clients such as Grace Farms and the World Science Festival.

The core technology stack is conventional: professional camera equipment combined with post-processing software, augmented by an on-site editing workflow that delivers an online preview gallery of edited images during live events for immediate PR and social media use. This on-site editing package is the firm's primary service differentiator and is offered as an add-on to standard event coverage. Geographic coverage is anchored in New York with project-based work delivered nationally to clients in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Miami, Boston, and Connecticut.

The business operates a direct-to-client, project-based revenue model with custom quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rates. Revenue is generated through one-time per-engagement fees for photography assignments rather than recurring retainers, with client acquisition driven by a portfolio website organized by service category and direct email inquiry. The firm has no disclosed funding, no external investors, no parent company, and operates as a founder-owned private boutique agency.
