Photography Update


I guess it won't be a surprise that for a PR Events Photographer commissions are few and far between in the month of August. Yep, everyone is on holiday - it would be literally the worst time of the year to hold a conference or run a PR campaign ! I usually try and have the month off, enjoying a break from social media and updating blogs and the usual admin that comes with running a successful photography business.

But as we approach the end of September I have definitely hit the ground running with photography work. Both in the past few weeks and getting those all important bookings secured across the rest of the Autumn. Plus a couple of multi-day conferences already contracted for 2025.

Labour Party conference photography


Having the Labour Party conference land in Liverpool has genuinely been a help. I've had over a dozen inquiries from all sorts of organisations and had to turn down quite a few due to a lack of availability.

Being a long member of the NUJ definitely helps with Trade Union photography inquiries and work - many organisations use the NUJ Freelance Directory as a source for suppliers and I have been told in private, some only ever use those who are trade unionists - which is fair enough to me. I've been with the NUJ since 2010, before that a Unison member and for many years a community member with Unite. Organising and activism are at the centre of strong communities and unions still play a massive role in that.

So anyway, enough of that, time for a quick round up of my favourite images from the last month.

I love Oye and the way it connects audiences from all corners of the globe. I have enjoyed chatting and connecting with artists, bands and fans on social media during and after the festival.

Why Hiring A Liverpool Conference Photographer for Your London Event Could Save You Money

When clients first hear that I'm based in Liverpool, the most common question I get before booking a London conference photography job is: "Won't that cost more, with travel and a hotel to factor in?"

As a new business, it was very important to me to get the right publicity photographs for my marketing materials. When I met David, he listened carefully to what I was trying to achieve with my brand, and then produced fabulous photographs that were exactly what I needed. He was extremely professional throughout but also nice and friendly. Myself and my clients found it easy to relax with him, which was essential to create the right vibe for the shoot. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
