Photo 8 covers conferences, corporate events, gala balls and business headshots across Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire, with no travel charges inside Greater Manchester and edited photos back within 24 hours.
Photo 8 covers events right across Manchester and out into Cheshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire. It’s run by Andon, who’s been behind the camera for more than 18 years, and the work spans conferences, corporate events, black-tie and charity balls, awards nights, PR and commercial shoots and business headshots. It’s the Manchester side of our UK-wide corporate event photography, so a run of events across a few cities can sit with one team who already know how you like things done. Corporate dos, private parties, dance competitions, celebrations of every size — they all get the same thing: creative pictures, quick delivery, and a photographer who stays out of the way.

Eighteen years in, we know what it takes to get natural pictures of your speakers, VIPs and delegates without ever becoming the thing people notice. That’s usually the difference between photographs with a bit of life in them and a room full of people who’ve clocked the lens. For conferences and conventions, symposiums, trade shows and exhibitions, we shoot the people, the stages and the space, catching your branding and the message the day is built around. If you want the full picture of how we cover a conference, our main conference photography page goes into more detail.
Before the day we’ll get to know your business and what the conference is meant to achieve. We can add a second photographer for the bigger events, set up an instant-print area so delegates leave with something in hand, and turn the edited images around quickly so they’re ready for the press release while the day still matters.

Corporate work in Manchester means staying flexible. A company anniversary with 200 guests and a multinational conference with 2,000 both need covering well, just differently — a roaming photographer for candid shots of the room, or a mobile studio with a backdrop matched to your theme. Green screen is there when you want something guests will actually remember, and any photo can be printed at the venue in seconds. Everything sits behind a private, password-protected gallery for people to view, download and share.
Good headshots make a company look like it’s got its act together. Alongside the event coverage we photograph whole teams and individual staff for websites, LinkedIn and PR — either at your Manchester office, which has the bonus of showing your real working space, or on a mobile pop-up studio with a backdrop chosen to suit your brand. You end up with one consistent set rather than a patchwork of mismatched shots, which matters when a prospect is sizing you up for the first time. Headshot packages are £450, £650 or £850 depending on team size, with retouched images back within 24–48 hours. For a shoot that’s all about the portraits, take a look at our corporate headshot photography.

Over 18 years we’ve worked at a lot of Greater Manchester’s best-known venues — Manchester United’s Old Trafford (corporate networking and green screen with stadium-view backdrops for Aon), the Etihad Stadium, the Hilton Manchester Deansgate (a 350-guest charity ball), Heaton Park (the Women V Cancer “Ride the Night” event), The Monastery in Gorton, the Holiday Inn Manchester (an annual conference with delegate headshots) and the Radisson Blu Manchester Airport. Add conferences at Manchester Central and the city-centre hotels around Deansgate and Spinningfields, plus corporate work out at MediaCity in Salford, and there aren’t many rooms we haven’t shot in. Wherever yours is — a city-centre hotel, a stadium suite or your own offices — we know the venue, we arrive early and we bring backup kit.

Roaming photography suits events and activations where a fixed studio would only get in the way. Green screen turns a stand or breakout area into something people talk about, with backgrounds to match your theme or one you supply. Instant on-site printing produces a finished photo in under 10 seconds, prints start from £10, and social sharing lets guests post branded images on the night to lift your reach. The pop-up studio handles black-tie nights, awards, charity balls, commercial shots and business portraits, and GIF animation adds the kind of light, shareable moment that gets people involved. Private, password-protected galleries come as standard.
