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.

Your questions answered.

  • 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.
