Green Screen Photography in London

Green screen photography, anywhere in London

If you want photos that look like they were taken somewhere far more interesting than a function room, this is how you do it. Photo 8 runs a green screen photography service across London that drops your guests into any location you like. One minute they’re stood in a hotel ballroom, the next they’re flying over a skyline, planted on a mountain or sat at the bottom of the ocean. We bring the studio, the lighting and the photographer, and we make the posing easy, so even the people who go stiff in front of a camera come away with a shot they’re pleased with.

Guests can choose from our library of backgrounds or you can bring your own scene to fit the theme. Either way, the photo is composited and printed on the spot, so people leave with something physical in hand rather than waiting on a download that somehow never arrives.

Trusted at London venues

Sixteen years in, we’ve photographed at all sorts of venues across the capital, and we’re comfortable with the way London events run: fixed get-in times, busy rooms and the constant need to keep things moving. Gatwick Aviation Museum’s Fun Day is a good example. We set up a green screen studio with instant prints and let guests choose from four backgrounds: the Canadian Rockies, the Eiffel Tower, the Burj Al Arab and the Colosseum. Families queued up, picked their scene and walked away with a print in hand, and it gave the day a focal point people actually remembered.

That kind of experience is why we’re happy to call ourselves UK green screen specialists. We know how to light a subject so they sit naturally into the chosen scene, how to keep the edges clean, and how to keep a queue ticking along without making anyone feel rushed.

Making a London event stand out

A green screen pulls people in. Put one in the corner of a launch, a fundraiser, a corporate away day or a party and guests drift towards it without being asked. For something a bit different, we can arrange costumed actors for guests to play off in front of the screen, which turns a quick snap into a proper talking point. It’s the kind of detail that makes an event feel thought-through rather than off-the-shelf.

Because it’s so visual, it works hard for brands too. Prints can be themed and branded to your event, and guests happily share them online, which keeps your name circulating well after the night is over.

Practical bits

We cover all of London, central London included, along with the wider UK and Europe. Setup is simple from your side. We handle the equipment, you provide a bit of space. Every guest can be given a password-protected web gallery to download their photos, and we hold £10,000,000 public liability insurance for the venues that ask. Prints start from £10, and our packages start from £750.

Most London bookings come down to a handful of details: the venue and its access, how long you’d like the studio open, how many guests you expect through it, and whether you want the prints branded for the occasion. Once we know those, we’ll recommend the right setup and make sure the day runs without a bottleneck. We’re used to working around speeches, dinners and entertainment slots, so the studio slots into the running order rather than fighting with it.
