Events photography FAQs
Practical answers about event coverage, delivery and working with PR teams. Anything else? Send a message — replies within 24 hours.
Do you need a lot of setup time?
No — compact professional kit and clear pre-event prep mean minimal disruption to your schedule. Arrive, blend in, capture everything that matters. No light stands, no flash equipment dominating the room, no production circus.
Can you provide both photo and video?
Yes — many organisers choose combined photo and video coverage for consistency. One creative, one style, both deliverables. Particularly popular for proms, charity galas, and sporting events where promotional reels are valuable afterwards.
How quickly are images delivered?
Fast previews are standard — a small set within 24-48 hours where the event is time-sensitive (PR releases, social posts, follow-up campaigns). Full edited galleries delivered on an agreed timeline that fits your follow-up plans.
Do you work with PR teams?
Absolutely — I provide images in the right formats and resolutions for press release distribution and social media campaigns. Press-ready 300dpi exports, social-optimised crops, and metadata-correct files with consistent captions.
Do you cover boxing and combat sports specifically?
Yes — boxing photography is a real specialism. Ring-side action, fighter portraits, corner team moments, knockout punches, victory celebrations. Fast shutter speeds, low-light handling, dramatic ring lighting expertise. Available for promoters, gyms, fighters and event organisers across Norfolk and UK-wide.
Do you offer drone and aerial coverage?
Yes — UK CAA licensed and fully insured. Aerial coverage works particularly well for sporting events, motorsport, festivals, large gatherings and venue establishing shots. Subject to weather, airspace and venue rules. Checked at quote stage. See the dedicated commercial drone photography page for full aerial work.
