A Client Guide to Corporate Event Photography

Corporate event photography is about capturing the moments that matter: the energy, the atmosphere, and the interactions that reflect your brand at its best. From conferences and brand launches to mixers and networking evenings, careful planning ensures your event is remembered.

Know What You Want from Your Photos

Before the camera comes out, think about how you plan to use the images. Are they for social media, press coverage, marketing materials, or internal communications? Being clear about your goals ensures the photographer focuses on the shots that matter most.

Questions to consider:

• Which moments are essential to capture? (Speeches, networking, awards, behind-the-scenes)

• What story do you want your photos to tell about your brand?

• Are there key people, spaces, or products that should feature prominently?

Here is a small selection of photographs from a previous client, showcasing the range of images our specialist team can capture at your corporate event.

Prepare Ahead of Time

Preparation makes the day run smoothly and ensures nothing is missed. Share your event schedule and key details with your photographer ahead of time.

Tips:

• Provide a list of VIPs, speakers, or guests who should be photographed

• Highlight specific moments or sessions that are priorities

• Give context about your brand identity so it’s reflected in the images

Make the Most of the Event Day

On the day, focus on your event while the photographer captures it. A professional photographer will manage lighting, angles, and timing, but there are a few things you can do to ensure great results:

• Keep key moments on schedule to avoid missing them

• Make sure branding elements are visible (banners, products, or signage)

• Encourage attendees to enjoy themselves naturally, the best photos are often the most authentic

Use Images Across Multiple Media

Once your event is over, the images are only valuable if they’re used effectively. Think about the channels where your photos will make the most impact:

• Social media campaigns and marketing content

• Press releases or media coverage

• Internal reports, newsletters, or presentations

Professional post-processing ensures your images look polished, cohesive, and on-brand.
