A good event is shaped as much by what happens on either side of it as by the session itself.

Before: confirm the brief in writing, sort out what you’re wearing or bringing, and build in time either side of the session so there’s no rushing in or straight back out again the moment it wraps.

During: trust the direction. Most people relax within ten minutes.

After: review the proofing gallery properly rather than rushing a decision, and flag any specific retouching requests clearly so nothing gets missed in the final files.

FAQs

Two common questions, answered.

What kinds of events do you cover?
Launches, private parties, conferences, gallery openings, community events and live music, anywhere in London. Most gatherings, whatever the reason, are worth covering properly.

Do you shoot video at events too?
Photography and film run together under one booking, stills for press and socials, plus a highlights film cut for whichever platforms actually matter to the client.

    This matches what I was told when I booked with LemonShark Studio.

    Nice to know exactly what happens on the day before booking an event, made the whole thing far less stressful.
