The big picture… and the details.

Event photography is all about creating a suite of powerful, professional images to showcase your event, from the big picture, down to the little details and brief moments that really tell the story and capture the atmosphere.

These can include photographs of your event that show the people and activities that uniquely detail the story.

No two events are the same.

At Michael Gibson Creative Photography, I recognise that no two events are the same, and you need images that capture the unique atmosphere of yours.

Indoor, outdoor, small and intimate, or larger events.

Formal, informal, daytime or evening.

We will discuss what you need from your event coverage, from basic reportage to formal individual and team shots so that you know what you are getting.
