Professional, Experienced Conference Photographers

Whether you are hosting an intimate private conference for company board execs requiring utmost discretion, a public conference at Excel, an industry get together or a business away day, finding the right photographer is key.

Conference photography requires energy and focus to capture a multi location, multi activity event - often with a huge shot list of images required to tell the story of the event including delegate arrival, networking, speeches, question and answer and sponsor and branding details.

Our photographers are shooting with an eye for delivering a set of images that will please all stakeholders - from event producers to media departments through to sponsorship. We understand how vital it is for the success of your future events to fully capture and showcase the scope of your conference activity.

Our large pool of photographers and videographers means that we can assemble the right team to cover your conference. We can also provide onsite editors if images are required as live for social media and press.

Experienced conference photographers in London

We have a team of around 50 experienced conference photographers all based in London (we also have a large international team - see here).  All of our photographers are busy working photographers who have at least 5 years experience in the industry and as well as specialising in conference photography they have their own specialisms in portrait photography, product photography and food and drink photography.  Many of them are award winning or regularly exhibit their work or are featured in leading press and magazines such as Vogue, Tatler and Vice.  Whilst the Raccoon house style is has a consistent quality, especially in the post production, each of our photographers has their own individual style and ability to frame a moment.

What makes a good conference photographer?

As well as the obvious technical experience required to enable our photographers to shoot in fast paced environments, busy events and challenging low lighting conditions our team understand how to interpret a brief and work in any situation.  Whether you are an event or PR agency working on behalf of a client or part of your company’s internal event team looking to capture all of the creative details of your event we will work with you on your brief to ensure that the photographer captures everything required for you to promote your event externally or internally.

Our teams all shoot with top of the range cameras, lenses, lighting and when necessary studio equipment and are fully insured for working in all kinds of environments.

As well as being talented at taking creative and high quality pictures, our photographers are lovely and fun people to have at your event in the city, who will always go the extra mile to delivery the highest quality gallery of images for you whilst being an unobtrusive presence at your function or gathering.

Matching the right photographer to your event

We know it’s important to match the right photographer to the right project.  Whilst the Raccoon house style of editing is consistent, we give our photographers free rein to shoot in their own individual style.  We know our photographers personally and we know who is going to be best suited to which type of conference and client.  We understand their passions and want to ensure that you have the person who is going to connect with your event and understand your objectives.  

Once we have your brief we check the availability of the London team and send you their portfolios with our personal recommendations so that you can make the final selection as to who you want on your project.

Because of the size of our network you can rest assured that we will always be able to provide a photographer in London even at the last minute, and have a large team of back up photographers should there ever be a problem or emergency.

Why should you use an agency for your photography?

Raccoon London was established in 2008 and over the last 15 years we have photographed thousands of events for our clients which range from private individuals through to some of the world’s largest businesses. In 2018 we expanded our operations to Europe and Worldwide to build our team overseas.
