Photography at events requires very broad skill set. This article covers photography tips, types of events with a long list of types, camera gear and some creative ideas.
Definitions / Descriptions
Definition of ‘Event Photography’ (The boring version)
Event photography is the practice of photographing guests and occurrences at any event or occasion where one may hire a photographer for. (Wikipedia)
Our definition of event photography
“Event Photography is the art form of capturing photos wherever people gather to share experiences.” That’s a little better, yeah?
A single article on event photography tips would not cover all the sub-genres in detail. There are at least 10 types of just the corporate event photography types we regularly photograph. And event coverage for them are all a little bit different as well.
This event photography tips article is written by professional fulltime event photographers, us. We hope new and upcoming photographers learn and enjoy reading it and implement some of these ideas into their shoots.
