Capturing the Energy of STEMFest 2026
Live events are unpredictable by their very nature. You can plan what you want to capture, identify the key people you need to speak to and build an idea of the story beforehand, but once the doors open you have to be ready to respond to what’s happening around you.
That was very much the case when I spent two days filming STEMFest 2026 with RTC North, an event designed to inspire young people through hands-on experiences with science, technology, engineering and maths.

How To Apply Cinematic Principles for Storytelling Photography
In both photography and videography, storytelling is what transforms a beautiful image into something memorable, meaningful and emotionally resonant.

Capturing UKREiiF: Hybrid Event Photography and Videography

UKREiiF is a major industry event brings together key players in the built environment sector, including developers, investors, local authorities, and planners, for three days of panels, networking, and thought leadership.
