It was brilliant to be booked for the third year running to provide my services at the Times Higher Education Awards and Conference 2025 for two days of event photography at the Edinburgh International Convention Centre in Scotland.
It’s been a busy few months here, with a great mix of photography projects across the North West. From dynamic business events to striking editorial shoots, I’ve had the chance to work with some brilliant clients and creative teams recently.
Lots of images from three busy days working at the ACC and Exhibition centre Liverpool for the Labour Party conference 2025
