Anya Hamid
Corporate Event Photography
We organise commercial real estate related networking events and conferences. The photography includes the following:
- atmosphere
- panel discussions
- sponsor activations
- catering
- guests
Adrian has been working with us on our events for the past year for which we are very grateful. He is reliable, talented and does not require any direction. The turn around is usually very quick as we need to send the images to our sponsors ASAP but photos are always perfect quality. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to any business looking for a professional photographer.

Karen Mountier
Adrian captured the ambience, energy, and fun, from our Murder Mystery Party brilliantly. He mingled discretely with our guests and this resulted in some amazing shots. One of our guests who couldn't be present said of his photos "I feel like I lived a little bit of the night"! For me that comment summed up Adrian's photos accurately. I would thoroughly recommend his work - you will not be disappointed. More...

General Photography
Having Adrian around in mid July for my son's birthday was a great pleasure. He mingled with the crowd perfectly, and it was like having a friend around, who has professional photography experience.
Adrian has great rapport with everyone, and I noticed that everyone out of the 100s present was extra keen to have their photo taken! The resulting photos are superb, and Adrian made them available in great time. As rated 5 star, he's highly recommended.

Adrian was contracted to update CMT's corporate photography, which included a diverse range of head shots, general office "working" shots and detailed component shots.
We were extremely impressed with the approach Adrian took and the broad skills he showed to achieve the best shots. His relaxed but professional manner also helped put the staff at ease while in front of the camera.
I would highly recommend Adrian for any photography work that you may have in the future.

We asked Adrian to cover a two day corporate event for our company's anniversary. We had a lot of standard photos that we required and also off the cuff photos of staff and their families enjoying themselves. Adrian was very easy to communicate with, he had an easy rapport with the staff and their families and we got a fantastic set of photos at very swiftly afterwards. We would highly recommend him to others for any event! More...

Finding a photographer online to photograph our holiday home for our new website was not easy due to the amount of replies and quotes we had,I finally decided on Adrian due to his fast reply to my email,his very reasonable quote and he was happy to fit around our times when we could go to our lodge in Devon.

Adrian was a pleasure to work with. He was very communicative throughout the project and understood the brief.
His photos reflected the character of the space and he took a number of photographs during the day - he kept shooting until we were both happy with the results.

Adrian was a consummate professional. He spent just over 2 hours with our team and quickly came up with a concept and style for 17 different headshots of the team. We very much enjoyed working with him and the end result we have is fantastic. Could not recommend enough. More...
Event & Party Photography
Adrian did some crowd photography for us to use on our website and for our monthly flyers at our music venue. The lighting conditions aren't always the best on these nights and working with a diverse crowd late at night can't have been easy but Adrian delivered a quality set of photos that we are all pleased with. He really understood what we were looking for to represent us in the photos. He was extremely easy to deal with from the off, gave us a competitive quote and followed the brief given without any issue. We're definitely going to use him next time we're looking for a photographer. More...
Seema Desai
Adrian came to our GSMA office in central London to take head shots and a group photo of my team of 30+ people. We've since used these photos on our corporate website, in investor presentations and publications. Adrian was really professional, efficient and lovely to work with! It's a tall order to take a group picture that everyone is pleased with, but Adrian really captured the spirit of the team, I'd definitely recommend working with him. More...
Anna Haber
I commissioned Adrian to do 3 photography stories for me at Gemfields ( world's largest coloured gemstone company) for media usage across the world. We traveled to Zambia and he beautifully photographed an emerald and amethyst mining operation, following the process of the gems, to romantic landscape imagery and powerful portraits. He also photographed a safari experience for us. He was a pleasure to work with, full of ideas and initiative and worked hard to get what we needed plus so much more. He was very professional and also on our return turned around the images very quickly to get us the edits that we needed. Adrian got on very well with the whole Gemfields team and the international media we were traveling with. He brought much humour to each day! I look forward to working with him again. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Beyond creating an exceptional aesthetic you need to understand what you are photographing. What is it and what do you think defines that person or those people involved? The clearer you are the more powerful, compelling and poignant your photographs will be. It is important to be able to communicate a strong narrative through your photographs. Much like a book or a film there is a beginning, middle and end to a set of photographs that I send a client. You want to take the viewer on a journey that will engage them emotionally. It is the photographs that provoke and demand an emotional response that we remember, learn from, cherish and love.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What is the most important aspect of your event, property, conference, or yourself that you want captured. What do you want these photographs to say?
What do you love most about your job?
I bring twenty one years of documentary photography, photojournalism and street photography experience to event and portrait photography and you know what the most amazing thing is? The process is practically the same! The difference being you are shooting to a clients brief rather than for yourself. In both you need to be clear in what you are communicating and your eye needs to be very sharp so you can capture those snap second moments when they reveal themselves. To capture great portraits and the vignettes of an event I shoot in the same unobtrusive manner as I do when shooting a journalistic story. In both I am following the same rules laid down by great photographers like Henri Cartier Bresson, Don McCullin and Martin Parr. It is an exceptional feeling when I know I am capturing a great moment and I use my many years experience to spot them, though they do not always make themselves obvious. Sometimes they are very gentle and unassuming and could be easily missed unless you are there quietly observing with your finger on the shutter. I am known for being an unobtrusive photographer and when photographing an event I watch carefully the scenes that take place before me much like you would watch a play with actors. As Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage' and never more so than an event with its many people interacting in a myriad of ways. Over time I think some of these photographs would make a great book. A series on some of the best moments I have captured in event photography. I look forward to that!
What inspired you to start your own business?
As a young backpacker in Asia many moons ago I found myself in the middle of a disaster zone in Bangladesh. A cyclone had ravaged the coastline killing 136,000 people. I was mistaken as a journalist and the next thing you know I am flying around in an old Russian helicopter. With a camera in one hand and my head out of the helicopter port hole I had an epiphany. I realised that as long as I have a camera I can go anywhere and see the world in all it's beauty, mystery and difficulties. That was 25 years ago and I haven't looked back since! These days my photography is a blend of photojournalism, event and portrait photography. Photography is an exceptionally competitive business to be in so I love the way it keeps you on your toes ensuring that you always deliver the best results.
