Photographing Open Sauce 2025: A Visual Recap

This summer, I had the opportunity to photograph Open Sauce 2025, a massive gathering of creators, inventors, engineers, and fans of maker culture. Hosted in San Mateo over three packed days, the event brought together an incredible mix of tech innovation, education, and entertainment.

  • Attendance: Over 10,000 attendees
  • Exhibits: 150+ interactive booths
  • Panels & Talks: 60+ sessions featuring top creators and engineers
  • Days Covered: 3 full days of shooting
  • Featured Subjects: Creators, DIY engineers, robotics teams, cosplayers, and panelists

I absolutely loved walking around and meeting other attendees and learning about their exhibits. Trying to capture the pure joy from children and families as they walked around each booth, cheering on battle robots or getting to solder their own badge!
