Photo 8 photographs corporate functions, conferences and parties across London, from Mayfair ballrooms to the exhibition halls of the Docklands, and we'll usually have edited images back to you the same day.
Photo 8 is a London event photography company run by Andon, who has spent more than 16 years behind the camera. We cover the full spread of corporate and private occasions in the capital: company parties, product and film launches, brand launches, conferences, PR events, award ceremonies, charity nights and Christmas dos. The work is about people first. Your guests, your delegates, the person collecting an award. We’re there to catch the handshakes, the laughter and the quiet moments in between, the things that actually tell the story of the night as it happens.
No two corporate events are alike, so we plan each one around your brief rather than a template. Before the date we sit down and work out what you’re trying to achieve, then we shoot to that plan, check every frame as we go, and edit so the pictures are ready to carry whatever campaign or report comes next. And for clients who need polished studio shots to sit alongside the event coverage, we offer commercial and product photography too.
We work right across Greater London and we know the big rooms well. The exhibition floors at ExCeL down in the Docklands, Olympia over in West Kensington, the hotel ballrooms of Mayfair, Park Lane and the City. We’ve shot in livery halls in the Square Mile, members’ clubs tucked away in the West End, riverside spaces along the South Bank and conference suites out towards Canary Wharf. Whatever the scale, from a 200-guest dinner in a Soho townhouse to a 2,000-delegate conference, we turn up early, read the light and keep out of the way, so the photographs feel natural rather than posed. We’re regulars at the capital’s exhibition venues, including ExCeL London.
Every event gets what it needs and nothing it doesn’t. Our add-ons run from event lighting and on-site printing to a second photographer for the bigger nights, live social media sharing so guests can post branded images while they’re still in the room, and a private, password-protected gallery to download from afterwards. For activations and exhibitions we can bring a roaming photographer for candid coverage, a pop-up studio with a backdrop matched to your theme, green screen photography and GIF animation that gives guests something to share.
On-site printing is a real favourite for parties and stands. We print a finished, branded photograph in under 10 seconds, which keeps the queue moving and means everyone leaves with something in hand. Prints start from £10. At one London store’s Christmas party our team worked through 1,700 visitors in a single day and kept the photo area busy from the first guest to the last.
Our reviews come from brands that can’t afford for the photography to fall over. We’ve shot events for Burberry, the English National Opera, Everton FC and plenty more, and the feedback tends to say the same thing: friendly, well prepared, professional and happy to work to what the client actually wants. We arrive with backup equipment, we’re fully insured to £10,000,000, and the quote you get is the price you pay, with no hidden extras tacked on later.
We treat the conversation before and after the event as part of the job rather than an afterthought. You’ll know what to expect on the day, you’ll have one clear point of contact throughout, and you’ll hear back within 24 hours of getting in touch. For agencies and in-house teams running a run of events across London, that’s usually what turns a one-off into a standing arrangement. Hand us the brief and trust the coverage to land, without having to chase.
