A corporate event photographer capturing a guest's reaction to close-up magic

Corporate event photographer.Magic disappears. These don't.

Add a photographer to your magician booking and keep every reaction they get. And if you want the rest of the event covered as well, from arrivals to the last award, we can do that too.
The problem

Nobody ever looks at the event photos.

Corporate event photography has a reputation, and it isn't a flattering one. Posed groups in front of a banner, a wide shot of a room, and frame after frame of people holding drinks. The folder gets shared once and never opened again.

Meanwhile the one part of the evening producing genuinely unguarded faces is the magic. Real astonishment, caught mid-laugh, nothing posed about it. It happens in bursts of a few seconds, and it usually happens behind whoever is holding the camera.

The best photo opportunity in the room is the one nobody is pointed at.
The solution
Corporate event photography, reaction photography, trick photography. Call it what you like.

A photographer who knows when to press.

The photographer we send has spent years working alongside magicians, so they are already watching the right person before the reveal happens. They know the beat, they know where the reaction is coming from, and they are pointed at it when it goes.

That gets you the frames ordinary event photography never does. Unguarded, mid-reaction, and unmistakably real. Not a room, not a banner. Faces. The magic vanishes in seconds. The photographs don't.

Ready when you are

Don't let it vanish.

Tell us the date and the venue, and we'll add a photographer to your booking, or cover the whole event.

How it works

It bolts straight onto your booking.

No second supplier to brief, no separate contract, no one else to chase. One booking, one point of contact, and a photographer who already knows the act.

  1. 01

    Say the word

    Add a photographer when you book the magic, or any time before the day. That is the whole process.

  2. 02

    They arrive together

    Your photographer turns up alongside the act and works where the reactions are, rather than wandering a room looking for something to shoot.

  3. 03

    The gallery follows

    Professionally edited, watermark-free, full copyright to you. Download it, share it, use it however you like.

Before you ask

The questions we get asked most.

Prices start from £750 per event, and that is all inclusive. No travel, mileage or parking on top, and no charge for the edited images. Tell us the date, the venue and roughly how long you need us, and we will come back with a full quote.
Sessions start at two hours, which comfortably covers the entertainment and the part of the evening where the best reactions happen. Longer coverage is no problem at all, we just quote it against your running order.
Your images are professionally edited and uploaded to a private online gallery, ready in two to three weeks. You download them from there and share them however you like. If you need a handful of frames sooner than that, say for social while the event is still current, we can quote for a fast turnaround.
You do. Full copyright, watermark-free, in full resolution. Use them on your website, your socials, your internal comms, your next event's marketing, wherever you like. Nothing to ask permission for.
Yes. Plenty of our work is exactly that: full corporate event photography across conferences, product launches, awards nights and Christmas parties, with the entertainment as one part of the evening. And you can book us for the photography on its own, with no magician at all. Either way it is a longer booking than the standard session, so we quote it against your running order, and it is much easier to plan in than to add on the night.
Tell us before the day and we will work around them, at no charge. Same if the images cannot be used publicly at all. It is a far more common request than people expect, and it is never a problem.
Nothing. Your photographer brings everything they need and works around your running order and your venue's lighting. No power, no space to set up, nothing for your events team to arrange.
Yes, fully insured. If your venue or your procurement team wants sight of a certificate, just ask at the time of booking and we will send it over.
We work at corporate events across London, Birmingham, Manchester and the whole of the UK, and travel is already in the price. Tell us your venue and date and we will confirm.
Yes, any time before the day, subject to the photographer being free. If you have already booked a roaming magician, a pickpocket or the Close-Up Corner with us, just drop us a line and we will add it to the same booking.
