Excel London Conference photographer

ByJames Gifford-Mead 06/10/202307/05/2024

A couple of weeks ago i worked at ExCel London for the first time to photograph a two day conference. I have worked as a conference photographer for the last ten years and it was one of the biggest venues that i have ever worked at in London. Excel London is one of the largest event venues in London and has become a hub for business and entertainment events. It is known for hosting a wide range of events, including conferences, trade shows, conventions, and exhibitions.

Working as a conference photographer involves getting familiar with the event schedule, speakers and the requested key moments. I had to capture candid moments of the attendees networking and listening to the speakers discussions.

During the speaker shots i had to get clear shots of the speakers, both wide-angle shots of the stage and close-ups of of the speakers in action. Also i had to ensure that i cover all the sessions, keynote speeches and the breakout sessions as requested. And finally i had to deliver all the final images quickly so the event organisers can use the images to promote their two day conference.
