Conferences, Events, PR - Professional Photography Will Make Them Shine.
I have worked as a conference photographer at many prestigious venues across Edinburgh including the EICC, the Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh University, Napier University, the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle, the Royal College of Physicians, The Balmoral, The Principal, Sheraton Grand, Waldorf Astoria (aka 'The Caley'), Radisson Blu, The Grosvenor and the Macdonald Holyrood. Conference photography should tell the story of your event from the opening keynote speaker to the last night's formal dinner. Hiring a professional conference photographer, whose sole job is to get you photographs of your event, will ensure you get the best pictures to tell your story.
As well as conferences I have covered numerous other events for companies, organisations and individuals including awards ceremonies, company celebrations, launch events, formal dinners and birthday parties at venues across Edinburgh from the Royal Yacht Britannia to Tynecastle Stadium. Although I mostly work in Edinburgh I also travel further afield for specific events, such as a company event based at Gleneagles Hotel or the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society's annual Summer School in St Andrews. As a photographer I pride myself on my ability to tell the story of your Event whether that requires large set-up group shots, intimate posed shots or more candid informal pictures taken while working quietly and unobtrusively in the background.
Having your pictures to tell your story are even more important when it comes to PR and publicity. Organising an event on Edinburgh's Royal Mile or on the roof garden of the National Museum may get some attention from passers-by but fundamentally it will be the coverage of your event that is shared with the wider world that is most important to getting your story out there. Inviting professional photographers to attend the photocall will ensure some great pictures get taken but by hiring a professional photographer yourself you can be sure to get your pictures exactly the way you want them to share online and with the media to best tell your story.

Personal and Local. Make it Specific.
These days, in a world awash with social media and online platforms, branding is personal. For small businesses in Edinburgh it is frequently your unique personal story that attracts potential clients and helps to make you stand out in a busy marketplace. Larger businesses too want to show their human side, with pictures of their staff online or in company publications. Whatever the size of business therefore professional portrait photography helps project the brand identity. And it isn't just business - a feature of our times is the way that branding has gone beyond the business world and has become important to everyone. Whether you are looking for a new job or a new relationship a great portrait can be a real asset. My portrait photography is almost always done out on location but that location could be just about anywhere you like. For business head shots we could set up in your company's meeting room while for more intimate family portraits it could be in your own living room, kitchen or back garden. I say 'we' because, while some corporate headshots may have to be taken to a very strict timetable, if there is just a little more time then taking a portrait becomes a true collaborative project between sitter and photographer to create a picture that captures your personality, who you are.
Place is important to me and in particular the place I currently call home - the city of Edinburgh and in particular the suburb of Portobello. Edinburgh is The Festival City and a significant element of the city's identity is theatre and the performing arts. Theatre Photography serves two fundamental purposes - publicity before the show to attract an audience and then a documentary record for afterwards of what is otherwise a transient art form. Some pictures can serve both purposes, such as dress rehearsal photographs being used to promote the show. Theatrical publicity shares many features with business PR, with the added advantages of great costumes and natural performers. You just need a professional photographer to take the pictures that tell your story. And it is always your story, even if the action on stage has been written by someone else, because your particular telling of that story, in your venue, with your cast that makes it unique.
Portobello is a thriving local community with lots happening throughout the year, frequently based on grass-roots local activism. Important as it is, this is still often unpaid as people take on the job of making the place where they live that little bit better. Sometimes I am able to make my own contribution to these efforts by taking top quality pictures of what is going on in Portobello - our pictures, our story.

Your images will usually delivered to you electronically and to fit with your schedule and workflow. If you need to see proof images before making a selection or would like other people to be able to buy prints and/or digital files directly I can provide password-protected client galleries.
