Photo 8 covers Birmingham and the West Midlands, from conferences at the NEC and ICC to red-carpet nights, charity galas and corporate events, with prints handed over on the spot.
Photo 8 is an event photography specialist based in Birmingham, working with event planners and corporate clients to build an experience around the night and strengthen their brand through good photography. Andon runs the camera side with 16 years in the industry behind him, and Desi handles the printing, and between us we cover Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. A lot of our work is fast-moving: step and repeat, red carpet, celebrity nights, conferences, charity events and PR launches. The kind of evening where the photos need to be sharp and ready then and there, not next week.
There’s more to it than just pointing a camera. We shoot, we print, and we make your guests feel good about being in front of the lens. Whether you go for the pop-up studio or the green screen studio, we make the images and hand them over on the spot at your conference or corporate event in Birmingham.
Birmingham is one of the biggest exhibition and conference cities in the country, and we know its rooms. We work the NEC out by the airport, the ICC and Symphony Hall in the city centre, and the hotels and conference suites around Broad Street and the Business District. For conferences, conventions and exhibitions we photograph speakers, stages, branding and delegates, picking up both the fine detail of your messaging and the wider feel of the floor. Need roaming photographers for business meetings, conferences or commercial events? We’ll plan the coverage around what you’re after. And for the bigger occasions we can supply as many photographers as it takes so no corner of the venue goes uncovered.
Step and repeat and red-carpet coverage is one of the things we do best. We set up a branded backdrop, photograph guests as they arrive, and hand the images over straight away, which keeps a busy entrance flowing and gives your PR team something usable within minutes. The same approach works for celebrity nights, charity galas and awards evenings across the Midlands, where the buzz of the arrival is half the story. We’re just as comfortable with private events, big or small, and we’ve covered plenty, including wedding receptions where we shoot guests at the mobile studio and print on the spot for them to take home or turn into a thank-you card.
We also help Midlands businesses look the part with PR portraits and headshots. These earn their keep on your website, your blog and your LinkedIn profile, telling prospects you take yourself seriously through consistent, well-made photographs. The session can happen outdoors, at your office to show the working environment, or against a chosen backdrop in our mobile studio, depending on what your marketing needs.
On-site printing turns out a finished photo in under 10 seconds on the latest professional printers, branded with your logo and message, and prints start from £10. Social media sharing lets guests post their images instantly, and at the end of the night we give you a full report of how many photos were shared and where. Green screen photography fits any event of any size and goes down well at film and product launches, corporate parties and charity nights. The mobile pop-up studio is a complete setup with lights and a choice of backdrops, and a live slideshow of the night’s images keeps the room engaged. Password-protected online galleries let guests view and download their photographs afterwards.
We’ve photographed corporate and special events for ENO, Burberry, Manchester United, Everton FC and Walt Disney, and our growing client base says plenty about consistent delivery. We’re fully insured to £10,000,000 and arrive with backup kit. If you’d like a hassle-free photography service for your event in Birmingham or anywhere in the West Midlands, drop us a line.
