Aprea Media: Capturing Corporate Excellence in Boston

At Aprea Media, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality corporate photography that captures the professionalism, culture, and unique identity of each business we work with. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, we have had the privilege of collaborating with some of the most influential organizations in the region, including MIT, Bank of America, Marengo Therapeutics, Shannon Cohn (a filmmaker, lawyer, and social movement builder), Addie's Grocery, and the Maison d'Haiti Haiti Project.
Our approach is more than just taking photos—it’s about building relationships with our clients to ensure we capture the essence of their work and their team. However, what sets our corporate photography apart is a delicate balance between providing excellent service and adhering to strict confidentiality requirements, often formalized through non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).

This company's retreat started with team building exercises, speeches and awards to their employees inside their conference space. This was followed by a clambake, full bar, headshots, lawn games and s'mores by a camp fire. After the incredible sunset over the Boston skyline we boarded the boat back to the Seaport.

Corporate Photography and Confidentiality
In the corporate world, image and discretion go hand-in-hand. Many of our clients operate in industries where sensitive information is at stake—whether it’s groundbreaking research at MIT, corporate strategy sessions at Bank of America, or innovative biotech developments at Marengo Therapeutics. These businesses trust Aprea Media not only for our photography skills but also for our ability to handle their content with care and confidentiality.
NDAs play a pivotal role in these relationships. These legal agreements restrict the sharing of certain information, including images, across public platforms. Often, our corporate photography covers events, internal meetings, product launches, or behind-the-scenes activities that clients prefer to keep out of the public eye, either for competitive reasons or because the projects are still in development. As a result, while we might capture stunning and impactful visuals, we frequently cannot share these images on social media or our website.

There is room for a small band, musician or DJ as well. Downstairs is another full bar and seating area with couches.

The Trust Factor: Why NDAs Are Important
For many of our corporate clients, signing an NDA isn’t just a formality—it’s a necessity. Take, for example, our work with MIT, where we document important conferences, research breakthroughs, and lectures. Much of the content we capture involves proprietary information or intellectual property that hasn’t yet been published or patented. Sharing these images could inadvertently reveal information that’s not ready for public dissemination.
Similarly, in the financial industry, Bank of America hosts internal meetings and high-profile client gatherings, where discussions around strategy, mergers, acquisitions, and future investments occur. These sessions require absolute confidentiality, which is why we operate under NDAs when photographing their events.
Our biotech clients, like Marengo Therapeutics, are at the cutting edge of medical innovation. The pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are particularly sensitive when it comes to proprietary science. Preclinical data, lab environments, and employee collaborations are all moments that we might photograph but are often bound by NDAs to ensure that competitors don’t gain access to privileged information.
Shannon Cohn, for instance, is a dynamic force, combining her skills as a filmmaker, lawyer, and social movement builder. Capturing her in action—whether she's on set or at a legal summit—requires discretion, as many of her projects involve sensitive topics and individuals whose identities must be protected. It’s an honor to help document her impactful work while maintaining confidentiality.

The Maison d'Haiti Haiti Project is another notable client that focuses on building bridges between Haitian culture and local Boston communities. Photographing this project involves documenting products for their website and marketing. These products are beautiful and delicate, hand made by women in Haiti being compensated a real living wage while being provided the textiles to do so.
Addie's Grocery was a startup new-concept grocery store in Norwood, Massachusetts that unfortunately didn't end up with the customer base they needed to stay afloat. As a Norwood resident myself I truly miss them! The convenience of grocery pick-up only was incredible. Many of our images were published in local newspapers such as the Boston Globe as well as tech publications. We were so proud to be working with them! Every corporate client has different needs, and our ability to adapt is what makes Aprea Media stand out in the Boston corporate photography scene. We understand that businesses, large and small, need tailored solutions when it comes to photography. For some, it’s about high-profile event coverage, while for others, it’s about capturing the day-to-day moments that make their company culture unique.

What remains consistent is our commitment to privacy and professionalism. From large organizations like MIT to rising leaders in the medical and nonprofit sectors like Marengo Therapeutics and the Maison d'Haiti Haiti Project, our job is to make sure that each photo is not just taken, but handled in a way that aligns with the client's expectations and industry standards.

Navigating the Challenges of Corporate Photography 
One of the more challenging aspects of corporate photography is balancing creative expression with the confidentiality required by NDAs. As photographers, we often want to showcase our best work to attract new clients and grow our portfolio. However, in the corporate world, privacy often takes precedence over promotion.
That doesn’t mean our work is any less impactful—it simply means that we build our reputation on trust and word-of-mouth. Clients appreciate our ability to deliver exceptional results while respecting the boundaries they set in place. This trust is essential, and it’s what keeps businesses coming back to Aprea Media time and time again.
Why Choose Aprea Media?
At Aprea Media, we know how crucial it is for companies to maintain their image while protecting their internal operations. Our clients rely on us to be both invisible and indispensable—capturing the moments that matter without disrupting the flow of their work or sharing their private information. We also strive to have FAST turnaround so that companies have their pictures for their internal press and marketing as soon as possible.
