Documenting critical moments and interactions between attendees without becoming a distraction. My aim is to go unnoticed, allowing everyone to relax and fully engage with the conference itself, rather than being preoccupied with having their photograph taken.

About Southwark

Southwark is an inner London borough situated south of the River Thames, rich in history and noted for its cultural diversity and urban regeneration. Established in 1965 through the merging of three Metropolitan Boroughs—Bermondsey, Camberwell, and Southwark—it encompasses areas such as Borough, London Bridge, Elephant and Castle, and Peckham. Historically, Southwark played a crucial role as an entry point to the City of London, known for its bustling trade and vibrant entertainment hubs. Important landmarks within the borough include The Shard, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Borough Market, and historic Southwark Cathedral. Southwark also hosts prominent cultural institutions such as Tate Modern and Imperial War Museum, underscoring its reputation for arts and culture. Notable individuals associated with Southwark include literary giant Charles Dickens, who vividly portrayed local life, and film legend Charlie Chaplin. Today, Southwark reflects visible transformations through extensive investment and redevelopment projects, with modern residential and commercial developments juxtaposed against historic architecture. The borough promotes sustainable urban living, emphasizing pedestrian-friendly streets and improved public spaces, thereby enhancing residents’ quality of life and attracting increased tourism and commerce.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a Southwark Conference photographer, I’ve captured various sizes and styles of conference across the city. From small internal conferences for a single organisation, to large scale conferences with multiple stages and speakers over several days. 

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. I also work as a Southwark event photographer, capturing events, industry parties and trade shows throughout the city and further afield.

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.
