The iconic Gherkin building in London’s financial district provided a stunning backdrop for an evening of recognition and celebration in the banking sector. The awards were celebrating Sustainability within banking. Here’s my experience photographing this prestigious event.
The venue was a challenging one for event photography, lots of changeable light throughout the evening. Armed with both my on-camera flashes I was able to cover all bases.
Pre-Event Planning
- Scout the venue’s unique architectural features
- Coordinate with event organizers about key moments
- Check lighting conditions at different spots in the venue
- Prepare backup equipment for various lighting scenarios
Key Photo Opportunities
- Arrival shots with London skyline backdrop
- Networking moments during drinks reception
- Award presentations and acceptance speeches
- Group photos of winners
- Candid shots of celebrations
Post-Production Workflow
- Same-night delivery of key shots for social media
- Full gallery delivery within 48 hours
This prestigious venue demanded a sophisticated approach to event photography, balancing professional documentation with artistic architectural shots that showcased the unique setting.
