My name is Kyle Mercury, but I am also known as dropslash pretty much everywhere on the web.
I am primarily an event and travel photographer with over a decade of production experience in the special events, trade show, and marketing industries. My unique understanding of the inner workings of event marketing and show venues gives my photography a keen awareness of brand messaging, authentic consumer interactions, and sincere event experiences. If you'd like to know more about my non-photography work, you can check out my personal website. You can find examples of my photography featured on:
