Corporate Event Photographer London | DHL @ Vinopolis

Ian — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 08:36:10 +0000

Loved shooting DHL’s corporate event at Vinopolis in London. Wired Events put on a brilliant evening, with fantastic sets from Dionne Bromfield, The Feeling and Jo Whiley.

The event celebrated the launch of DHL’s new advertising campaign, “The Speed of Yellow” and I wanted to capture as much of the atmosphere and branding as possible. Couldn’t get much more yellow in this photo!

Vinopolis is a great space for an event, and for a photographer. Some great textures and shapes with all the brickwork and arches (and even better when they have cool projections on them).

Dionne Bromfield put on a great show.

I was a fan of The Feeling when they released their first album back in 2006. Since then I haven’t heard much from them so it’s great that they are back on tour and releasing a new album. They really got the crowd going, a brilliant live band!

I grew up with Jo Whiley and listened to her mid morning show on Radio 1 pretty much everyday, so it was great to meet her. Maybe I was a bit too excited to get my photo taken with her, look at that cheesy grin! She suggested I switch over to Radio 2 when I said I missed her show… but won’t that make me really old?!

Prom Photos | Sopwell House, St Albans

Ian — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 08:52:26 +0000

Just back from a very busy night photographing a prom for 350 guests at Sopwell House in St Albans, Hertfordshire, a brilliant venue for weddings and events.

I set up a studio for portraits of all the guests as they arrived. Lots more to come, but here’s my favourite from the night.

For those that are interested… exposure is 15 seconds, f11, ISO 100. Taken on Canon 17-40 f4 L USM Lens at 17mm.

It’s always nice to see your photos being published. This is from the new Park House Hotel events brochure, where a photographed a brilliant birthday party a couple of months ago. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a venue for your wedding or party. The grounds are beautiful, staff very friendly and food delicious (PS… no, I’m not sponsored by them!).

Prom Event Photos

Ian — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:18:05 +0000

Here’s a slideshow of a few event photos from Prom evening in Bromley, Kent. I started off the evening with couple and group portraits as well as some more natural reportage photos. Later in the evening I didn’t have to persuade anyone up on to the dance floor, they were all more than happy making shapes well into the night!
