Philip Wade Conference Photographer

"You hire a pro because a pro will always 'get the shot'. With events photography the pro has to get all the shots. For our event Philip got all the shots and then some more. A good job very well done."
Michael Weedon ( BHF Group Communications Director )

"Working with Philip is fantastic, he always manages to capture the essence of each day which is vital for our events. He always manages to deliver a high standard photography."
Kabelo Thomo, Learning Without Frontiers Ltd

CONFERENCE PHOTOGRAPHY

This is a great way to spend a day.

There is usually something interesting being discussed, one ear on the speakers, two eyes on the next photograph.

Take various angled shots of the conference venue empty with events logos and branding showing, find the best place to leave your gear during the day, usually near a thirteen amp plug for refreshing the batteries, then off to the reception area to shoot delegates arriving, registration and more branding.

Quick cup of coffee.

Opening speaker, hopefully background colour is not weak.

Nice strong images on the projection screen, audience shots from front and back of auditorium, get them clapping, questions from the floor.

Panelist’s talking and taking questions, those damn water bottles sitting on the table going up everyone’s nose in the shots, always one speaker who hates their photograph being taken, keeps looking down or away, if only they would look just past the camera for 30 seconds, that’s enough for us to get what we need and leave them in peace!

Get some good audience reaction, maybe a brochure in the foreground, conference going on around it can make a interesting shot.

Possibly in between all this you grab another coffee, even some lunch and before you know it it’s time to go home, quite possibly having given out the odd card or two to someone who’s got a conference coming up.

Always happy to work within your budget, my usual fee for an evening is £300 - £400

I am happy to discuss events countrywide.

"Our organisation’s aim in photographing our events is to have both a record of the event, and images which can be forwarded on to industry newspapers as publicity shots. We therefore require a wide range of shots to be taken; from posed award winner shots and moving speaker shots through to audience and trade exhibition photographs.

Philip always manages to capture the overall feel and ambience of the day, whilst still managing to take the wide range of different images we require. We have not been disappointed with the quality and range of images presented to us after each event.

Philip always commits himself to the full conference day – arriving with the organisers and leaving once the delegates have departed – allowing a comprehensive view of the event, and one which is well thought out and taken in a way most representative of the day."
