I love shooting events and conferences. In the last year, that's taken me to Miami, Berlin, Cannes, and venues across London and the UK.

Every event brings different lighting and on-the-spot problems to solve, and that's what I enjoy most.

As an Adobe Certified Expert, I edit and deliver fast, so you've got usable images while the event's still fresh.

Bristol has some exceptional event venues and I know them well. I've shot at the Engine Shed, Ashton Gate, and venues across Paintworks, as well as private corporate spaces throughout the city and the South West. Knowing a venue before you arrive makes a real difference to how quickly you can work and the quality of the shots you get.

Beyond simply recording what happens, I focus on storytelling, brand alignment and capturing authentic human connection. My background in branding and portrait photography means I’m always aware of how images will represent your organisation long after the event has finished.
