Event Photography East Midlands Networking with FSB and HSBC
June 13, 2025
Early morning Event Photography at Leicester Business School with over thirty senior execs including HSBC & FSB Regional Directors, the room was buzzing with possibility. The day started with opening talks from Dawn Edwards (FSB Regional Chair, East Midlands), Jennifer Thomas (FSB Development Manager) and Rachel Caryl (HSBC, Deputy Regional Director) and was shortly followed by group break outs where we discussed core challenges facing local businesses.
The Energy in the room was electric and people delved deeper and deeper into discussions.
My job as the event photographer was to capture the atmosphere.
I brought a portable one‑light setup and delivered five polished executive headshots on‑site during the slow moments.

Final Thoughts
Many events are a blur of conversations and chance connections but they go undocumented. You’re left with fleeting impressions and a social media post or two… until it’s gone.
That’s lost credibility, missed marketing opportunities, and no content to fuel future momentum.
Professional event photography isn’t just decoration, it’s a strategic asset:
Solidifies credibility & professionalism
High-quality visuals signal that you care about detail, precision, and craft, traits Forbes-level professionals look for
Captures real company culture, building trust
Candid, human moments aren’t fluff. They humanise your brand and connect emotionally with audiences beyond the room
Future-proof visual storytelling
Photos become your archive, proof of your growth, authority, and relevance over time
Provides versatile marketing content
That single event can furnish blogs, LinkedIn posts, newsletters, press kits, your entire marketing calendar fuelled with sharp imagery.
