The world of Party, Event and Corporate photography has been a very strange place to be in over the last year. I know many photographers whose businesses fell off a cliff last September as the corporates particularly cancelled their bookings and slashed all spending related to client and staff entertainment. Everybody in the event and corporate entertainment has had a pretty unremarkable year. But it seems bonuses are back, corporate entertainment without excess is now ok, and the total freeze on spending money on fun is starting to thaw.

So, thanks goodness for that!

This December for me looks good for Party and Event photography, bookings are starting to roll in and the ‘real time’ slide shows we do are very popular this year. We set up a large screen and continually feed the latest photographs onto the screen, very amusing for the guests as they see the party come alive on the screen. It takes two photographers to do this well, one to take the photographs and another to feed the selected images into a laptop and onto the screen. They are great fun and a great way to impress your friends and clients.

Supplying prints instantly, well more or less instantly, is another popular service we provide at events and parties. Last year we covered a party held at Selfridges for Tatler magazine and as the guests arrived we photographed them. We then superimposed a Tatler front cover onto the photograph we’d taken. They absolutely loved it and when the prints were produced and laid out for all to see it was the highlight of the evening for some.
