Documentary & Event Photography in London
Authentic, Natural Coverage for Live Events and Behind-the-Scenes Moments
Whether you're looking for candid images of a corporate event, production stills from a live performance, or relaxed photos of your team at work, I focus on capturing real moments as they happen — without staging or disruption.
As a London-based event photographer, I regularly cover:
Live performances & creative rehearsals
Behind-the-scenes (BTS) production stills & on-set coverage
Corporate events, award ceremonies, and team away days
Office photography & workplace culture
Brand activations, press launches & PR events
Tailored Event Photography Services
To help you get even more value from your event coverage, I can also offer:
Headshots during the event with a booking system, plus automated SMS & email reminders for attendees
Group photos for teams or VIPs
Multiple photographers to cover large or concurrent sessions
On-site printing so guests can leave with a physical copy of their image on the day
If any of these options would be useful for your event, feel free to mention them when requesting a quote.
Event Videography – Highlight Films in 4K
If you’d like your event filmed as well as photographed, I offer professional event videography in London as part of your coverage. This can include:
4K b-roll footage capturing the atmosphere, flow, and key moments of your event
Edited highlight videos, ideal for social media, marketing, or internal use
Licensed background music, title cards, and your branding included
Footage captured using a combination of handheld gimbal and tripod for smooth, steady results
If you'd like to include event videography alongside photography, just mention it when requesting your quote.
Drone Footage & Aerial Event Videography
For events where aerial perspectives are permitted, I can also offer drone footage using a lightweight and compact, but highly capable drone that captures smooth 4K video.
This is ideal for:
Outdoor events and branded activations
Venue overviews and crowd shots
Scenic establishing shots for your highlight reel
Time-lapse footage of event setup or breakdown, captured from a fixed aerial position
Drone use is subject to local regulations and airspace permissions, but I’m happy to advise based on your event location.
If you're interested in adding drone footage — including aerial time-lapse — just include this in your quote request.

Documentary photography is a style of photography that aims to capture real-life events, environments, and people in a truthful, objective manner. This genre focuses on storytelling through images.
Unlike staged or heavily edited photographs, documentary images preserve authenticity by reflecting genuine moments and unfiltered experiences.

My rates include travel to/from your location, photography, and approximately two hours of post-production for every hour of shooting time. Post-production involves sorting the images into usable and non-usable categories and colour grading the usable images.
Backup equipment is also provided to ensure smooth operation.
The rates I proved also include six months of data storage for all uncompressed image files and unlimited backup storage for the delivered images, subject to force majeure.
