You spend weeks — sometimes months — planning an event. The venue, the lighting, the guest list, the food, the mood… all of it for one day. And then, in a flash, it’s over. But here’s the good news: the value of your event doesn’t have to disappear when the last guest walks out the door. With strong event photography, those moments you worked so hard to create can keep delivering long after the chairs are packed away. As an  event photographer in London , I’ve seen how high-quality photos can breathe ongoing life into what’s often a fleeting experience.

But some of the most meaningful images I deliver are the unexpected ones — like a quiet conversation between two colleagues, a spontaneous laugh at the buffet table, or the way the light hit your branding at just the right angle. These are the frames that...

When people think about photography for retail, the first thing that often comes to mind is product images — those clean, minimal shots against a white background. And while those have their place, commercial photography for retail is about so much more than just the product itself. It’s about showing how everything fits together — the space, the atmosphere, the brand story, and the way customers move through it. Working as an advertising photographer, I’ve had the chance to collaborate with several retail businesses, from global labels to boutique shops. What I’ve seen is that the most engaging visual content is the kind that feels intentional. Not just polished for the sake of it, but thoughtful in how it reflects the brand experience. Retail spaces in Canary Wharf, especially, have a distinct identity. The audience here is diverse, busy, and visually savvy. They notice the details. So, it’s important to show not only the items being sold, but how they’re displayed, how people intera...
