About City of London

The City of London is a small yet historically significant borough situated at the heart of Greater London, encompassing just over one square mile. Often referred to simply as “the City,” it serves as a global center for finance, commerce, and banking, housing iconic institutions such as the Bank of England and the London Stock Exchange. With origins traced back to Roman Londinium established in around 43 AD, it has preserved notable historical landmarks, such as St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London, and remains of the ancient Roman city walls. The City has its own local governing body—the City of London Corporation—which maintains unique governance structures steeped in traditions dating back centuries. Historically distinct individuals associated with the City include the legendary Lord Mayor Dick Whittington, a merchant and philanthropist, and Sir Thomas More, chancellor to Henry VIII. Renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren notably rebuilt the City following the Great Fire of London in 1666. Today, the borough continues to thrive as a dynamic financial hub and cultural area, blending modern office buildings and skyscrapers, like The Gherkin and The Cheesegrater, alongside historical monuments, thus reflecting a compelling mix of its vibrant past and contemporary global importance.

I’ve worked in historic buildings, The Savoy, Australia House, the NEC and even the Emirates Stadium, so I’m used to adapting to my environment get the most powerful photographs of a conference in any setting.

My aim is for the conference to run as if I am not there, I use cameras with a silent shutter system so no one gets distracted and I don’t draw attention to myself during quieter moments. I photograph the speakers, audiences and interactions between people without staging or influencing them at all. I can take posed group photos if needed, but I’ll get the most authentic overview of the conference when people just enjoy themselves and don’t feel forced to smile. 

I also offer corporate headshot photography and corporate photography services that might be of interest if you are looking specifically for pictures of yourself or your colleagues for use on your website, LinkedIn, or for branding purposes.
