Telling Photography provides high-quality, bespoke professional business photography for brands across the UK. Founded by Ed Telling in 2009, the we specialise in professional business photography, offering a comprehensive suite of services.
Q: What does an event photographer in London typically charge? It would usually depend on the type of event but ion you are looking specifically at corporate event photography in London, it would typically start from around £300 – £450 for a shorter half-day engagement, with full-day coverage available from around £650. Telling Photography offers fixed, transparent pricing with no hidden extras. Multi-booking discounts of 10% are available for three or more full days booked throughout the year, which can also be applied retrospectively to ad-hoc bookings.
Q: How quickly will I receive the photos after my event? For events with a single photographer, Telling Photography delivers a highlight reel of 10–15 edited images on location — ready for immediate social media use — with the full professionally edited gallery delivered within 12–24 hours. For larger multi-photographer productions, turnaround times are confirmed at booking based on the scope of the project.
Q: Are the photos licensed for commercial use? You receive a full commercial license to use the images for marketing, PR, social media, and internal reports. Your sponsors and guests are also allowed to use the images for social media use.
Q: What types of corporate events do you photograph? Telling Photography covers the full range of commercial events including conferences, gala dinners, industry awards ceremonies, networking events, product launches, AGMs, trade shows, company away days, team-building events, charity fundraisers, and parliamentary seminars. Previous clients include brands across publishing, finance, real estate, technology, education, and professional services.
Q: Do you work with event management agencies? Yes. A significant portion of Telling Photography’s work is delivered in partnership with event management agencies and professional event companies. Ed is experienced at integrating seamlessly into agency teams, working to pre-agreed shot lists and schedules, and communicating directly with venue staff, sponsors, and delegates as required.
Q: What is the difference between conference photography and corporate event photography?Conference photography focuses specifically on capturing keynote speakers, panel sessions, audience engagement, and networking moments at conference-format events. Corporate event photography is a broader term covering any business-related occasion — from awards dinners and product launches to team-building days. Telling Photography specialises in both, and can provide tailored coverage across all elements of a multi-format event.
Q: Can you photograph events outside London? Yes. While the majority of Telling Photography’s clients are London-based, Ed regularly travels across the UK and has photographed international conferences throughout Europe. Travel costs may apply for locations beyond a 20-mile radius of Central London, and these are always confirmed transparently in advance.
Q: How many photos will I receive from a corporate event? The number of final images depends on the length and nature of the event. Each image is selected for its unique editorial or commercial value — the final gallery tells the complete visual story of your event. A typical half-day event might yield 160-180 fully edited images; a full awards evening or multi-session conference significantly more.
Q: Are the photos licensed for commercial use? Yes. Every image delivered by Telling Photography comes with a full commercial licence covering use in marketing, PR, social media, websites, annual reports, internal communications, and print materials in perpetuity and all territories. Sponsors and guests are also permitted to use the images for their own social media channels.
Q: Do you provide raw (unedited) files? Telling Photography only delivers fully edited, high-resolution JPEG images. This ensures every photograph representing your event or brand meets the same consistent quality standard. Raw files are not supplied, as the edit and colour correction is central to the professional finish clients expect.
Q: Can you scale up the team for large events? Yes. Led by principal photographer Ed Telling, Telling Photography has a trusted network of additional photographers, videographers, and editors available for large-scale or multi-room events. This makes it possible to provide comprehensive, simultaneous coverage across multiple event areas and to supply real-time edited images for live social media campaigns during the event itself.
Q: What are your credentials and insurance? Ed Telling is a fully insured professional photographer holding Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance. Risk assessments are provided on request. Telling Photography is a registered UK limited company (Company No. 06795549) with over 20 years of experience in the creative industry and more than 15 years specialising in corporate and commercial photography.

Q: Do you offer discounts for repeat clients or multiple bookings? Yes. A 10% discount is available for clients who book three or more full days of photography throughout the year. This can be applied to ad-hoc bookings retrospectively, meaning you benefit from the discount even if projects are confirmed at different times across the year.
Q: What happens if I don’t have a detailed brief? No brief, no problem. Ed Telling has extensive experience attending events without a detailed shot list and using professional judgement to capture everything the client needs — including shots they didn’t know to ask for. A pre-event conversation is always offered to establish key moments, important guests, and any specific brand or sponsor requirements.
