Wellcome Collection library event photography

ByJames Gifford-Mead 30/11/202307/05/2024

During the beginning of November i was invited to photograph a event at the Wellcome Collection library. The library is located in central London and the closest is a stone throw away from Euston underground station.

Due to the paintings surrounding the library I wasn’t allowed to use flash so all the pictures were shot with fast Sony primes lens and high ISO on my Sony A9ii cameras. It was great evening photographing the networking plus the awards. You can view a few of my favourite shots here:
