What we do

Green Screen Photography for Events

We bring a complete green screen studio to your event, drop your guests into whatever scene you can dream up, and put a printed photo in their hand before they've finished laughing about it.

01

What green screen photography actually is

Green screen photography, sometimes called chroma key, starts with a plain green backdrop that we swap out for any scene you fancy once the shot is taken. Your guest stands in front of the green, we take the photo, and seconds later they’re soaring over a skyline, perched on a mountaintop or stood right beside your newest product. Film studios have used the trick for decades. What we’ve done is shrink it down, speed it up and make it reliable enough to run all night at a live event without missing a beat.

We turn up with the full kit, set it up, run the studio for as long as you need us, then pack it all away at the end. You don’t have to source a single thing beyond a bit of floor space and one 13A socket. Every guest leaves with a printed photo, and a digital copy in their own gallery too if you’d like one.

How a typical event runs

A guest steps up to the green, we frame and light the shot, and the background drops in straight away. The print is in their hand in under ten seconds, mounted in a strut frame and tucked into a protective bag. Then it’s on to the next person. One printer comfortably turns out around 360 4x6 prints an hour, which covers most evenings. For weddings, conferences and the kind of events where everyone piles in at the same moment, we set up a second studio so nobody’s left standing in a queue.

Good green screen work is about far more than swapping a background, though. The cut has to be clean around hair and edges, the lighting has to sit naturally into the scene we’re dropping people into, and the framing has to be flattering. Green screens are famously fiddly, and that’s exactly why having an experienced photographer behind the camera makes the difference between a gimmick and a photo people keep.

Backgrounds, branding and delivery

You’re really only limited by your imagination here. We carry a big library of digital backdrops, and we’ll build custom ones around your theme too, whether that’s outer space, the deep sea, a famous landmark or a clean studio look with your products sat behind the subject. For corporate clients, every print can carry your logo and a line of event text, which quietly turns a fun keepsake into a piece of marketing that ends up on someone’s desk rather than in the bin.

On the night we can run social media kiosks so guests share their photos there and then. Afterwards, everyone gets an individual password-protected web gallery to download their images. It’s a simple way to keep your brand doing the rounds long after the last guest has gone home.

Where we work and who it suits

We cover London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh and the rest of the UK, and we’ll happily travel into Europe too. The same studio works just as well at a corporate product launch as it does at a charity fundraiser, a black-tie dinner, a wedding reception or a family party. At corporate events it’s a proper icebreaker. People who’ve never met relax, have a laugh, and the rest of the day tends to go better for it. At fundraisers, a background tied to your theme gets people talking and gives them something to share.

And there’s a serious side underneath the fun. If you’re running a promotional event, photographing guests with your product behind them turns every shot into a small piece of advertising they take home and keep. Schools, fashion shows and PR events all use the green screen to make ordinary photos look like something far more memorable, and a print on a desk or fridge keeps your name in front of someone for months. Hiring a green screen photographer is an affordable way to give an event that bit extra, whether you’re after a lasting memory or a bit of attention for your business.
