Photo 8 creates remarkable imagery for conferences, exhibitions, corporate events and gala balls across Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire, with no travel charges within Greater Manchester.
Photo 8 is a professional photography company based in Manchester, covering all types of events across the city and out into Cheshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire. Run by Andon, who has more than 16 years behind the camera, we specialise in conferences, corporate events, black-tie and charity balls, awards ceremonies, PR photography, commercial photography and business headshots. Corporate and private parties, dance competitions and celebrations of every size get the same treatment: creative imagery, quick delivery and a service that stays out of the way.

With more than 16 years of experience, we know what it takes to capture creative imagery of your speakers, VIPs and delegates while remaining unobtrusive and blending in among your delegates — often the difference between dynamic, natural photographs and a room full of people who feel self-aware in front of the camera. For conferences and conventions, symposiums, trade shows and exhibitions, we shoot people, stages and venues, capturing your branding and the central message behind the event.
Before the day we’ll learn about your business and what the conference is meant to achieve. We can add a second conference photographer for larger events, set up an instant-print area so delegates leave with a personal memento of the day, and deliver the edited images quickly so they’re ready for the press release as soon as possible.

When it comes to corporate photography in Manchester we stay flexible. Whether it’s a company anniversary with 200 guests or a multinational conference with 2,000 visitors, we have the right solution. We can provide a roaming photographer to take candid pictures of your guests, or a mobile studio with a backdrop matched to your theme. We also specialise in green screen photography, where the possibilities are limitless. All photographs can be printed in seconds at the venue, and we create an individual password-protected online gallery for visitors to see, download and share their images.

Over 16 years we’ve photographed events at many of Greater Manchester’s best-known venues — including 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” charity event), The Monastery in Gorton, the Holiday Inn Manchester (annual conference with delegate headshots) and the Radisson Blu Manchester Airport. Wherever your event is — a city-centre hotel, a stadium suite or your own offices — we know the venues, we arrive early and we bring backup equipment.

Roaming photography suits occasions and activations where a stationary studio won’t work. Green screen photography creates an outstanding experience for your guests, with backgrounds to match your theme or one you supply. Instant on-site printing produces high-quality photos in under 10 seconds, and social media sharing lets guests post branded images on the night to lift brand awareness. The fully equipped pop-up studio handles black-tie nights, awards, charity balls, commercial photographs and business portraits, with private password-protected galleries as standard, and GIF animation adds the kind of light, shareable interaction that builds goodwill around your brand.

Manchester event and conference photography starts from £450, with no travel charges within Greater Manchester and your edited library delivered within 24 hours. Recent Manchester coverage includes the English International Super Cup and club sport photography at Wright Robinson College.
