Event Photographer Birmingham
Looking for a reliable, creative event photographer in Birmingham?
I’m Ross, a Birmingham-based photographer and videographer with years of experience covering everything from intimate gatherings to large-scale conferences and awards nights. I work with businesses, agencies and organisations across the city to capture events in a natural, documentary style – telling the story of your day while you focus on hosting.
Whether you’re planning a corporate conference, a product launch or a one-off celebration, I’ll provide a set of images you can use for marketing, PR, internal comms and social media long after the event is over.
Professional event photography for Birmingham businesses
Strong event photography should do more than prove the event happened – it should show the atmosphere, connections and key moments that made it worth attending.
I regularly work on:
Corporate events and conferences
Awards ceremonies and gala dinners
Networking events and business meetups
Product launches and PR events
Workshops, training days and seminars
Charity events and fundraisers
Private and VIP functions
Based in Birmingham, I know the city and its venues well, and I’m used to working alongside event teams, AV suppliers and venue staff to keep everything running smoothly.
My approach as an event photographer
Every event is different, but my approach stays the same: discreet, relaxed and professional.
Before the event, we’ll run through:
Your schedule and key moments
Any VIPs or speakers you’d like prioritised
How you’ll be using the images afterwards (website, PR, social, internal comms)
Any specific shots you can’t afford to miss
On the day, I’ll blend into the background while still being in the right place at the right time to capture:
Key moments – speakers, awards, announcements and reactions
Candid images of guests networking and enjoying the event
Wide “scene-setting” shots that show the scale and energy
Details that matter – branding, décor, signage, food and styling
I’m used to working in low light, busy spaces and tight schedules. I’ll keep direction to a minimum, stepping in only when needed for small group shots, team photos or VIP portraits.
What you’ll receive
After your event, you’ll receive a curated selection of professionally edited images, ready to use across your channels.
Typically, this includes:
A secure online gallery to view and download your images
A balanced mix of wide shots, candid moments and details
Images optimised for web, social media and general use
Print-ready files available on request
If you need a small selection of images on a fast turnaround for press or social media, I can provide same-day or next-day highlights as part of the service – just let me know when you enquire.
Events I cover in and around Birmingham
Although I’m based in Birmingham, I’m happy to travel across the West Midlands and further afield for the right project.
Typical locations include:
City centre hotels and conference venues
Bars, restaurants and rooftop spaces
Co-working spaces and offices
Cultural venues, galleries and theatres
Outdoor events and city locations
If you’re not sure whether your event is the right fit, just get in touch with a few details and I’ll let you know how I can help.
