I am a Conference Photographer in Liverpool and have 20 years experience covering all sorts of business and professional events and gatherings
Recently I was back at one of my favourite venues in Merseyside - Spaces at The Spine, covering an conference event called Early Career Researchers Network organised by The British Academy.
It is an inclusive, researcher-led network for UK-based early career researchers working in the humanities and social sciences. Delegates came from around the world to meet and network with other academics. And also hear from editors explaining techniques, from publishing peer-reviewed papers, to producing full length books.
I know how much effort and time goes into organising conferences and how vital professional photography is to your marketing and in engaging with your attendees. I capture the highlights of your conference from start to finish, including speakers, branding, attendee interaction and venue features. Whether you have a specific brief or requirements for coverage or not, I am an experienced conference photographer and guarantee to capture your event in its best light.
So let me show 60 photos from the event - I supplied a total of 325 images to the organisers and these were distributed to speakers, exhibitors and the venue.



























































I specialise in high-quality corporate imaging, including keynotes, networking, and PR shots. Offering professional services, often with fast turnaround times for social media and marketing use, catering to major venues across the city.
Some of my favourite locations include:
ACC Liverpool / M&S Bank Arena: A premier waterfront venue, featuring a 1,350-seat auditorium and 18 breakout rooms.
Exhibition Centre Liverpool: Ideal for large-scale expos and hybrid events.
Liverpool Anglican Cathedral: Offers unique, high-capacity settings (up to 2,000) for large, memorable events.
Spaces at The Spine: Located in Paddington Village, this venue offers high-tech, WELL-certified spaces with panoramic 13th-floor views.
Scale, Liverpool: Suitable for creative and corporate events.
Liverpool Town Hall: A prestigious, historic venue for corporate meetings and events.
Titanic Hotel Liverpool: Located at Stanley Dock, offering flexible, historic industrial spaces.
The Florrie: Offers versatile, historically significant event spaces.
Hope Street Hotel: Features specialised meeting rooms and conference spaces (up to 150 guests).
INNSiDE Liverpool: Known for creative spaces and a high-floor sky bar.
Malmaison Liverpool: Offers waterfront meeting rooms.
If you are planning an event in 2026, a conference or awards ceremony, please message for availability and how I can assist in your visual story-telling. I have 20 years' experience and am happy to chat, even if you have someone already sorted for the photography. I know the best venues in Liverpool and Manchester and can give you some insiders information. I also have some excellent videographer connections to pass on.

The media world doesn't wait. Whether it's a press release, a breaking news story, or a social campaign, you need great images fast. Slow delivery doesn't just cost time — it costs you the story.
Currently available to take on commissions for events, PR and celebrations at the Grand National meeting in Aintree 9th to 11th April - get in touch ASAP - it is a very busy time for me and I get booked up quickly
