Edinburgh International Conference Centre
Conference Photography
I've been photographing conferences of all shapes and sizes for over 10 years now, and of all the types of bookings I get it's probably my favourite kind of job. I love shooting candidly and photographing real moments as they happen, and this is what good conference photography is all about - capturing the energy and buzz of an event by documenting all the presentaions and networking in real time, and in a way that shows off how great an event it really was. I love looking for that perfect speaker shot that shows the enthusiasm they have for their presentation, or for shots of happy and engaged delegates working together in a break out session, or excitedly networking over coffee, or all fun being had at an evening ceilidh. Good conference photography will help bring in new sponsorship and entice future delegates to come along to the next one, and so should always leave no doubt that the event was engaging and interesting, and that everyone who attended had a great time - and I really love getting the kind of photos that help show this.
The photos below are a selection from of a single recent conference in Edinburgh, at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre - somewhere I've worked a lot over the years, and one of the best venues for large conferences in Scotland. It was a brilliant event, with dozens of speakers and sessions over a variety of rooms, thousands of guests, and some amazing evening events in the programme as well.
If you would like to discuss your own conference then get in touch as I'd be delighted to hear from you. More example of my conference photography can be seen here.
