Food photography at events

Most events have a super abundance of yummy food for attendees and in between shooting the participants and event speakers I sometimes sneak in a food shot or two. It helps add some colour and, as with weddings, details help bring an event to life. I thought I’d share a few of my favourites and…

Danny Finkelstein

Danny – now Lord – Finkelstein of Pinner came and spoke at the SSON event in Amsterdam this week. He was amusing, interesting and intelligent and told a great story about his interaction with the lift attendant in HM Treasury just before the recent British General Election. He was everything you’d expect of an alumni…

SSON event in Amsterdam

Another big event this week. The Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON) conference in the Beurs van Berlage. A super fantastic 2 day event with inspiring speakers on some fascinating topics. Also I personally love the light in the BvB – best conference venue in Amsterdam in my view! Here’s my pick of some essential…

Brand Loyalty Vestingloop

Another year… another incredible Vestingloop in Den Bosch. This year, my client, Brand Loyalty were the main sponsors and of course it was bigger and better than ever.

Out and about on the streets around La Rambla, there was a biblical thunderstorm which went…

Britsoc Photo Lesson #7 – On a wedding day, the story is everywhere

Technical details; Nikon D700. AF-S Nikkor 17-35mm, f/6.3, ISO 500 @ 1/125s This shot is typical of my photo-journalistic style for weddings and the lesson is a simple one; a good wedding photographer understands that on your wedding day the story can be found anywhere and everywhere. Sure, the focus is on the bride (especially)…

Britsoc Photo Lesson #6 – Absorb your surroundings to construct your shot

 Technical details; Nikon D700. AF-S Nikkor 17-35mm, f/3.2, ISO 3200 @ 1/25th s “St.Paul at the Rijksmuseum” Rembrandt’s masterful self-portrait “Self-portrait as the Apostle Paul” which hangs in the Honor gallery in the Rijksmuseum, became the focus of this shot, which I took during the Pritzker Architecture Prize Dinner over the summer … an event…
