“Businesses and organisations rely on the fast delivery of professional photography Ed produces – to instantly promote awareness of their operations through digital media”

Ed Telling’s career in the creative industry spans over 30 years, beginning with a BA (Hons) in Graphic Communication from UCA Farnham. After working as a graphic designer in London with major brands, Ed transitioned into photography professionally in 2004. By 2013, Telling Photography had become a full-time business serving the corporate and events sector.

That background in design — understanding layout, composition, brand identity, and how images work in context — is what sets Ed apart. Every image is delivered not just as a photograph but as a piece of visual content ready for immediate use in marketing, social media, reports, and press.

What Others Are Saying

We have used Ed for 3 years in a row now at our Annual Conference (360+ delegates), and I will be asking him back next year. He always captures the perfect shots for us, and is very intuitive and flexible. Ed has a reassuring and friendly way about him, and always gets the photos over to us super-fast - usually that weekend (our Conference is on a Friday). We invest a lot into our annual event and we all feel we are in safe hands with Ed taking the photos.

Ed is a regular photographer for our corporate events, and always delivers a really high selection of photos. He's extremely responsive and easy to work with pre and post event too. I would always use him where possible.

The RBI Events team have worked with Ed for several years and consider him part of our team. We are always impressed by how he manages to capture every moment from the first break to the last award. Plus those casual networking shots that provide us with great marketing collateral afterwards. Nothing is ever too much trouble and through his professionalism and can-do approach, Ed delivers every time. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
