Neil Vigdor
“How Did He Get the Shot? The Photography of New York Times Breaking News Journalist Neil Vigdor.”
When he's not on deadline writing for The New York Times, chances are Neil Vigdor is chasing the shot: fireflies, star trails, the moon, Manhattanhenge, the Thunderbirds or a snowy owl. Join us for a conversation with Neil about his adopted craft, photography. He will talk about the meticulous planning that goes into capturing "wow" moments, the creative process, the gear, tips — and journalism.
Neil Vigdor is a reporter for The Times covering breaking news, with a focus on politics. His role involves a mix of reporting on politics and the Trump administration, explanatory journalism, and contributing to live coverage. The breadth of his assignments extends to stories about crime, business, pop culture, and other topics. Previously, Neil was a member of The Times political team that covered the 2024 election and the 2022 midterms. He reported from every battleground state during the last election cycle, plus Iowa and New Hampshire. He also tracked voting legislation and kept tabs on threats against election officials. Before politics, Neil covered a wide range of breaking news stories for The Times, including the police killing of George Floyd, the Jan. 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, several mass shootings, pandemic-related news, and more.
Neil graduated from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. He covered Connecticut and national politics for The Hartford Courant and Hearst (including Greenwich Time), reporting on four national conventions and two inaugurations. When he is not reporting, Neil moonlights in celestial and street photography. His work can be viewed on his website at neilvigdor.photoshelter.com
Our next presentation, on February 18, will be by David Michonski, CEO of Quigler, Inc., with “Update on the 2025 Greenwich Real Estate Market.”
