Event photography from someone who knows how events work

I have been on your side of the event

Before picking up a camera professionally, I spent years producing events in the games industry, running press briefings, launches and creator events for major publishers. I know what goes into making an event happen, what the organiser needs to come away with, and which moments actually matter.

That experience shapes the way I work. I arrive with a clear shot list, stay out of the way of your running order, and keep an eye on the details that are easy to miss: the sponsor branding, the reaction in the front row, the quiet conversation that turns into a deal. You get a gallery that tells the story of the day and gives your marketing, press and partner teams everything they need.

Music Festivals

Festivals move fast and no two moments look the same. One minute it is boots kicking up dust in the crowd, the next it is a headline act catching the evening light on stage. I capture the atmosphere as much as the performances: the singalongs, the outfits, the food stalls and campsites, and the small moments between friends that make a festival feel like a festival.

I work across the full day, from setup shots of an empty site through to the final encore. The result is a gallery that shows both the scale of your event and the personality of its crowd, ready for next year's ticket campaign, sponsor reports and social media.

Performances: Stage, crowd and backstage coverage, working to artist and management requirements.

Atmosphere: Crowds, campsites, food and drink, and the moments in between.

Partners: Sponsor activations, bars and branded areas captured for your commercial reports.

Sporting events

Sport is about split seconds, and the pictures that last are the ones that capture the emotion around them as well as the action. From Formula 1 race weekends to football matches, I cover the energy of the event from start to finish.

Motorsport and Formula 1: A race weekend is so much more than what happens on track. I cover the paddock, garages, hospitality suites, fan zones and sponsor activations, giving teams, partners and hospitality providers the content they need to show off their weekend. Whether you are entertaining clients trackside or running a brand experience for fans, I will capture the speed, the glamour and the people.

Football: From professional clubs to grassroots teams, I photograph match days in full: the players, the fans, the pre-match build up and the celebrations at the final whistle. I also cover club events, sponsor days, community programmes and awards evenings, so you have a consistent library of images across the whole season.

Other sports and sporting events: Races, tournaments, charity challenges and sports awards dinners are all welcome. If it moves and people care about it, I would love to photograph it.

Corporate events & conferences

Corporate events need photography that works as hard as the event itself: clean, professional and fast to turn around. From conferences and award dinners to product launches and networking evenings, I deliver a polished gallery covering speakers, delegates, branding and atmosphere.

Video games and the creative industries

This is where I feel most at home. Having produced events for games publishers, I understand the rhythm of a press preview, a creator event or a studio showcase. I know the difference between a hands-on session and a keynote, where the content creators will want to stand, and how to capture a product reveal without breaking an embargo.

I also work with organisations across the wider creative industries, including photography, design, film and media, covering trade shows, exhibitions, talks, workshops and industry awards. Creative audiences expect creative images, and I bring the same care to your event photography as you bring to your work.

Conferences and summits: Keynotes, panels, breakout sessions and delegates networking.

Launches and previews: Product reveals, press events, hands-on sessions and creator days.

Awards and celebrations: Winners, reactions, table shots and the party afterwards.

Trade shows and exhibitions: Stands, demos, visitor engagement and team photos.
