Hi All

As the conference photography season is upon us for all professional corporate photographers in Edinburgh and around Scotland, I thought it would be an appropriate time to share a few tips, shown below:

1. Get to know the main organiser as well as you can, before, during and after the event.  Learn their needs and preferences. It is this key person who will employ you in the future

2. Taylor your photos according to the needs of the company, ie check previous brochures, internet photos ets and ask them what they want.  Its no use photographing a lot of artistic black and white images if the organiser wants presenter shots in colour

3. To contradict what I just said, take risks, do something different, so you stand out from other photographers.  I like to offer some corporate infrared photos to my client as an added extra and they usually love it

4. I have said this again and again, but don't overdo I, back-off once you have your photos, give people space.  They may not re-employ you if they think you are a pest

5. Keep it simple when it comes to equipment.  You will likely only use 2 lenses, even 1 sometimes.  This also goes for flash modifiers, don't overdo the fancy equipment, find the best way and stick to it.  Also, it decreases the chances of losing stuff

That's all for now folks

Until next time
